| Description: | Beinn a' Chapuill, 4.0 km. south-south-east of Glenelg. The upper part of the mountains is formed of siliceous schist of the Moine series, and the lower part is Lewisian gneiss. The rocks in this area are part of the Moine Nappe, highly folded Lewisian and Moine rocks that have been moved along the Moine Thrust, the most easterly of the major thrust planes of the Caledonian Thrust Zone. The Lewisian is thought to occur as either the core of tight anticlinal folds or as thrust slices. |
