| Description: | Ben Hiel (left) and Ben Loyal (right) from the north. The prominent buttresses on Ben Loyal are Sgor Chaonasaid, Sgor a' Bhatain and Sgorr a' Chleirich. The summit peak An Caisteal can be seen just left of Sgor Chaonasaid. The outer of the two quartz syenite intrusions is a laminated two-feldspar rock, the lamination has been ascribed to a flowage of the crystal mush which is concordant with the foliation of the surrounding schists. The inner mass is a coarse, non-laminated syenite with only one type of feldspar, perthite. Three syenitic masses similar to the larger intrusions in Assynt lie around Loch Loyal and well within the Moine Nappe. They comprise Ben Loyal, Cnoc na Cuilean and Beinn Stumanadh intrusions respectively. |
