| Description: | Isle of Rum. Glen Harris and late-glacial storm beach at Harris. Inverness-shire. The view looks right across the centre of the Rum Central Complex, the root zone of a Palaeocene volcano, one of many in the British Tertiary Volcanic Province. 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. |
