| Caption: | The glaciated valleys of Loch Glencoul (right) and Loch Glendhu (entrance on the left) whose waters fill the valleys overdeepened by glaciation and now produce a fiord-like topography. |
| Description: | The hummocky low ground between the two lochs is the Lewisian Gneiss basement, on which the Cambrian Basal Quartzite and Pipe Rock lie unconformably and form the prominent low scarp. Above this the break in slope marks the line of the Glencoul Thrust plane which brings Lewisian gneiss to rest upon Cambrian strata. View looking south-east. Kylestrome Ferry (Kylesku Ferry) is in the foreground on the left. |
