| Description: | North-east buttress of Ben Nevis, Inverness-shire. Cliff, 457 m. in height formed of a cylindrical mass of andesite lavas and breccias that have foundered into granite in the Lower Old Red Sandstone age Ben Nevis Complex. Geologically the Ben Nevis Complex consists of three well-defined concentric zones, a discontinuous Outer Granite steeply bounded against contact-altered Dalradian schists, a continuous inner ring, known as the Inner Granite with steep external and internal margins and the central core of 2000 feet of volcanic rocks in a basin with steeply tilted margins. |
