| Caption: | Isle of Rum. Glacial features at Harris. Inverness-shire. |
| Description: | The fine storm beach comprising several shingle ridges rises to a little above 30 m. Most of the blocks and pebbles are of granophyre probably derived from talus which formerly covered the 'preglacial' raised marine platform to the north-west. The high storm beach is locally fronted by by a narrow gravel terrace at 15-17 m. above high water mark. A late-glacial storm beach overlying a 'preglacial' raised marine rock platform and cliff. The gorge of the Duian River (right) is cut into layered ultrabasic rocks (peridotites) of the Western Layered Intrusion, part of the Rum Central Complex. |
