[Wizzdom]

geography, a corrie, is a terrain feature created by glaciation in high mountains. The word is an anglicisation of the Gaelic word coire meaning hollow. It is known in Welsh as a cwm (often Anglicized as coomb, or coombe), and the French word cirque is used to denote a very similar geographical feature.

Never heard of it and im doing A Level Geography :S

Corrie is the scottish(possible gaelic) word for Cirque(France) or Cwm (Wales). They are mainly called Cirques or Cwms in England but in Scotland in all our textbooks we use Corries.

Here is a link I found useful, it's the Standard Grade revision

Formation of Corries, Pyramidal Peaks, U-Shaped valleys etc

Hope it helps :p
