| Description: | Inchnadamph, knoll between the school and Lochinver road (Cnoc Dubh Dothaig). The Peach and Horne Memorial Cairn (unveiled July 25th, 1930). Rocks in foreground are Cambrian strata (limestones etc.) in zone of imbrication above the 'sole'. Ben Peach and John Horne were members of staff of the Geological Survey of Scotland. They worked in the North-west Highlands from 1883 to 1897 to resolve the long-standing controversy about the structure of the area. The results of their work were written up in the Memoir, 'The geological structure of the North-west Highlands of Scotland' and published by the Survey in 1907. The inscription reads: to Ben N. Peach and John Horne who played the foremost part in unravelling the geological structure of the North-west Highlands 1883-1897. An international tribute erected 1930. |
