| Description: | St. Magnus Bay. Shetland Isles. Showing the vertical jointing of the Ronas Hill Granite producing the vertical walls of the Heads of Grocken and the Drongs. The granite is a later stage intrusion of the Devonian Northmaven Plutonic Complex. It is thought that the 160 metre deep bay has been overdeepened by glacial action; others have suggested that the deep bay may represent earlier meteorite impact craters that have been cleared out by ice during the Pleistocene. |
