| Description: | Slioch, from above Furnace, Loch Maree, Ross & Cromarty. Buttressed escarpment of Torridon Sandstone resting on irregular surface of Lewisian gneiss. Foreground consists of Lewisian gneiss. Pale-coloured rocks are feldspathic gneiss and granite and pegmatite sheets, but the almost 'bedded' appearance of the gneiss terrain is due to the large numbers of south-east dipping amphibolite sheets which form part of the Lewisian complex here. The Torridonian rocks (Applecross Formation) which form the upper part of Slioch were laid down on an irregular land surface under semi-arid conditions. At least 600 metres of relief in the pre-Torridonian surface can be demonstrated at Meall Each on the south side of Slioch. |
