| Description: | Oblique aerial view from above Glen Brittle, Skye looking at the western edge of the Cuillins Complex. The Bealach a' Mhaim is on the centre left, the conical hill on the south-east of Loch Sligachan is Glamaig. Roughly, the area to the left of the Bealach a' Mhaim is composed of Lower Tertiary lavas, those to the right are gabbros of the Cuillins Complex. Glamaig, part of the Western Red Hills complex is composed of the Glamaig Granite with overlying Lower Tertiary lavas near the summit. The complex is approximately 8 km. in diameter, dipping at 10-20 degrees inwards at the edges rising to 60-70 degrees at the younger intrusions at the centre. The north-east part of the complex was destroyed by the later intrusions of the granitic complexes of Western Red Hills and Srath na Creitheach. |
