| Description: | Isle of Eigg. Inverness-shire. Bay of Laig and Camas Sgiotaig beyond, with rocks of the Great Estuarine Series (Jurassic) below the scarp of the lava plateau of North Eigg. Moraines and landslip deposits lie at the base of the scarp. Palaeogene (Tertiary lavas) of the Eigg Lava Formation form a scarp below which there has been considerable landslipping. It is though that the landslips took place because the stability of the plateau had been disturbed by ice action during the main Late Devensian glaciation. Note the area of blown sand. |
