| Description: | Looking north from the high ground above Port an Righ, 4.8 km. south-south-east of Hill of Fearn. Ross & Cromarty. Part of a panorama of the peninsula of Tarbat. (With C01919.) The hollow in middle distance is an old sea-strait from a time when the sea level was much higher. The rounded features of the hill are due to ice-movement across the Middle Old Red Sandstone and deposition of boulder clay during the retreat of the glaciers in the last ice age. The Great Glen Fault Zone runs close to, and parallel with, the very straight coastline of this area. The zone itself initiated in the Caledonian period of tectonic activity is now covered with Jurassic rocks just off this coast. |
