| Description: | Beinn a' Chapuill, 4 km. south-south-east of Glenelg, Inverness-shire. The upper part of the mountain is formed of metamorphosed sandstones of the Moine Series, and the lower part of rocks of the Lewisian Gneiss Series. Flat ground in foreground, in front of trees, is underlain by alluvial deposits. Lower poorly-exposed slopes beyond trees form part of the 'Eastern' Lewisian of the Glenelg Lewisian inlier, and are part of the Moine Nappe above the Moine Thrust. It is characterized by the abundance of metasedimentary rocks, including metalimestone and fayalite-magnetite rock, and also contains pods of eclogite. The upper half of the mountain, with abundant craggy exposures, is made of metamorphosed sandy rocks of the Morar Group of the Moine Supergroup. Due to intense deformation during the Caledonian orogeny, the layering in the two rock groups at the contact is roughly parallel and the original unconformity cannot be seen. |
