| Description: | Oblique aerial view of the Three Sisters of Glen Coe, Beinn Fhada, Gearr Aonach and Aonach Dubh, the three ridges running off Bidean nam Bian. Inverness-shire. Looking south-west across the Glen Coe cauldron subsidence from the Beinn Bheag area. View shows the foreground of Moine psammitic gneisses which are in 'contact' with Lower Old Red Sandstone lavas forming higher peaks. The majority of lavas are rhyolites but the dark patches are probably andesites. The ridge in immediate foreground on right-hand side (Beinn Bheag) is formed of a large north-north-east trending porphyrite dyke, one of a large swarm in the area. |
