| Description: | Old quarry south of Loch Gorm, above Glen Urquhart. Inverness-shire. 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. The quarry face in the foreground is in dipping banded limestones. An amphibolite lenticle occurs in the limestone below where the geologist is sitting. The rocky hillocks in the right background are of intensely folded psammitic to pelitic Moine gneisses rich in amphibolite pods. The ridge on the horizon marks the closure of the isoclinal fold in which the Glen Urquhart serpentinite sits. The peaty flat area in the left centre of the photograph is in serpentinite, as is the lower part of this ridge (Druim Drimneach). The serpentinite edge is marked by a horizontal feature low on the ridge. Kyanite-schists and Moine form the rest of the ridge. |
