| Description: | View looking south-south-east across Acharacle from near New Shiel Bridge (which crosses the River Shiel near the west end of Loch Shiel), Argyllshire. Fluvioglacial terraces of the River Shiel and the surrounding low hills of Moine schists. Fluvioglacial terraces of sand and gravel (in shadow) in foreground, on right beyond the river, and on left (in middle distance) above the road. The hills around Acharacle are formed of Moine schists. On the skyline, half right, the distant flat-topped hill is Beinn Iadain in Morvern, an outlier of Tertiary basalt lavas. |
