| Description: | Ben Loyal (left) and Ben Hiel (from east). The flat area between is the Bealach Clais nan Ceap. Sutherland. The Late-Caledonian alkaline igneous intrusions of the Ben Loyal complex. The Ben Loyal Intrusion consists of two quartz syenites of similar chemistry but slightly different mineralogy and habit, that have a gradational contact between the two. The form of the intrusion is that of a sheet or laccolith, fed from the south-east which distends and deflects the schist envelope. Three syenitic masses similar to the larger intrusions in Assynt lie around Loch Loyal and well within the Moine Nappe. They comprise Ben Loyal, Cnoc na Cuilean and Beinn Stumanadh intrusions respectively. |
