| Caption: | Oblique aerial view north-west of Gartocharn to Loch Lomond and Ben Lomond and the Duncryne plug. |
| Description: | Around Luss (upper left) slate quarries are seen - in the Dunoon Phyllites (Dalradian) that here lie in the core of a large recumbent fold that forms part of a large nappe-like structure. This 'Tay Nappe' is downbent near to the Highland Border. The islands in Loch Lomond initially mark the Highland Border and then include downfaulted Upper Devonian/Lower Carboniferous sandstones and conglomerates, and finally are composed of Dalradian cleaved greywackes. The latter is a small Lower Carboniferous volcanic plug that makes an admirable viewpoint of Loch Lomond. The surrounding low ground is Quaternary till and sands and gravels. |
