| Description: | Landslip topography south of Flodigarry Hotel. Skye. In the foreground slipped masses of Tertiary lava and Jurassic sediments. In the distance the headland of Rubha Garbhaig is of Tertiary dolerite sills in Jurassic sediments. Part of the Quiraing landslip, the greatest landslip in Skye and Britain extending 7000 feet from the scarp of Meall nan Suiramach to the coast here in Staffin Bay. It is a stable and mature slip except near Flodigarry where the toe is being actively removed by the sea, here there is continuous but not extensive movement. |
