| Caption: | Panorama of (left to right) Quinag, Ben More Assynt, Canisp and Suilven taken from the Stoer Road viewpoint several miles north-west of Lochinver. Sutherland. |
| Description: | Typical of the scenery in this area are the steep-sided, isolated mountains of Torridonian sandstone unconformably sitting on, and rising abruptly from a considerably older high grade metamorphic Lewisian gneiss basement. The Lewisian forms a typical 'rock ridge and boggy hollow' terrain. The view shows relict mountains of Torridonian sandstone lying unconformably on Lewisian gneiss. |
