| Description: | Looking north-west from the road 1.5 miles west of Lochmore, Ross & Cromarty. Valley eroded along the line of the transcurrent Glen Docherty or Loch Maree Fault - a dextral slip north-west-trending fault complimentary to the Great Glen suite. The Loch Maree Fault is a plane of pre-Torridonian ductile shear within the Lewisian gneiss of the foreland that did not affect the overlying Torridonian, however it did act as a plane of weakness for the much later Caledonian faults. |
