| Description: | View from Laig Bay, Eigg, across the Sound of Rum to Askival and Hallival, eastern Rum. Inverness-shire. Layered ultrabasic rocks of the stage 2 of the Palaeogene Rum Central Complex. Rocks of the Jurassic Valtos Sandstone Formation form the shore in the foreground. They are cut by an in-weathering Palaeogene dyke with upstanding walls of indurated sandstone. Layered ultrabasic rocks form the high peaks on Rum, the lower slopes are formed by Torridonian sandstones. A prominent marine notch occurs along the coast of Rum about 30 m. above sea level. |
