| Description: | The deep cleft on the right (An t-Sron) marks the Glen Coe Boundary Fault of the Glencoe Cauldron Subsidence. To the left are phyllites with augite-andesites on top while to the right of the fault is granite. The house is Achnambeithach. The phyllites, an argillaceous metamorphic rock, form the base on which are overlain a range of volcanic rocks of Lower Old Red Sandstone age. They start with the augite-andesites shown and end on the top of Bidean nam Bian and the southern summit of Beinn Fhada. The Boundary Fault can again be seen half-way down the right slope of Bidean nam Bian in the distance. |
