| Caption: | Oblique aerial view of Foinaven (Ganu Mor), one of a group of mountains including Arkle and Meall Horn, situated in the heart of the Reay Forest. |
| Description: | The prominent scarp with screes in the middle distance is formed of much-faulted Cambrian quartzites which rest unconformably on an irregular surface of Lewisian gneiss. The hill in the foreground is formed of Lewisian gneiss and is higher in altitude than the quartzite scarp, thus demonstrating the highly irregular nature of the Lewisian land surface on which the Cambrian quartzites were deposited. It illustrates typical Cambrian quartzite topography and the Cambrian-Lewisian unconformity. Sutherland. View looking south-east. |
