| Description: | Creag a' Mhail, Scourie. Dyke in gneiss. The notch in distant promontory, the small bay in middle distance, and the notch in foreground, are due to the dyke. A c. 20 metre-thick east-south-east trending Scourie dyke, intruded c. 2,400 million years ago into still hot rocks of the Scourian complex, is more susceptible to erosion than the surrounding gneisses. The dyke and surrounding gneisses are both cut by east-north-east trending shear zones. |
