| Description: | Inchnadamph; knoll between the school and the Lochinver road (Cnoc Dubh Dothaig). Distant view of the Peach and Horne Memorial Cairn. Looking north-west to Quinag (Torridonian sandstone capped by Cambrian Quartzite). Ben Peach and John Horne were members of staff of the Geological Survey of Scotland. They worked in the North-west Highlands from 1883 to 1897 to resolve the long-standing controversy about the structure of the area. The results of their work were written up in the Memoir, 'The geological structure of the North-west Highlands of Scotland' and published by the Survey in 1907. The inscription reads: to Ben N. Peach and John Horne who played the foremost part in unravelling the geological structure of the North-west Highlands 1883-1897. An international tribute erected 1930. |
