| Description: | Ben Nevis from the south. Inverness-shire. Andesite of Lower Old Red Sandstone age forms the mountain top. The 'hanging corrie' of Allt Coire Eoghainn in granite (in distance on left). A 600 m. thick Lower Old Red Sandstone sequence is preserved by subsidence within the central ring-structure of the Ben Nevis granitic complex. It consists principally of hornblende- and biotite-andesites with intercalated agglomerates and sedimentary rocks and is believed to be part of a regional lava cover now completely removed by erosion from the Ben Nevis area. |
