| Description: | Upper reaches of Loch Moidart, looking west-south-west from the path leading to Loch nam Paitean, Inverness-shire. Alluvial flats occur where the River Moidart enters the head of the loch. The rocks are Moine schists. Eilean Shona on right in distance. In general, the Moine rocks comprise a limited series of lithological types, representing a metamorphosed series of arenaceous and argillaceous sediments, psammites and pelites respectively. The present mineral composition and condition of the rocks depends on their metamorphic grade and the extent to which they have been migmatized. |
