| Caption: | View looking north-west from top of Cnoc na Moine, above Glen Urquhart. Inverness-shire. |
| Description: | The foreground is formed of Moine psammitic gneisses with amphibolite lenticles (N.B. shown as Lewisian on published one-inch sheet 83). The hill above Lochan an Torra Bhuidhe, called Torr Buidhe (= yellow hill in Gaelic) owes its green aspect to the limestone of which it is mainly formed. A contact between limestone and calc-silicate rocks is also clearly marked by the vegetation - it trends diagonally across the right-hand side of the hill. The forested slope in the left background is of serpentinite, and the hills in the far right background are of Old Red Sandstone. The high peaks with snow in the far background are above Glen Strathfarrar. General view of the Glen Urquhart Complex an ultrabasic body of serpentinite intruded into semipelites and psammites of the higher units of the Loch Eil Division. |
