| Description: | Kerry River Falls, Gairloch, Ross & Cromarty. Waterfall in gorge eroded along fault cutting Loch Maree Group rocks (Lewisian). The river has been eroded along the line of a fault cutting rocks of the Loch Maree Group, part of the Lewisian complex. These are a group of metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks, including metamorphosed limestone and banded iron-formation. The dark rocks on the left of the waterfall are hornblende schists (?metavolcanic rocks),which are displaced laterally about 500 m. upstream. The cliff on the right is made of micaceous metamorphosed sandstones and siltstones, possibly with granitic veins. |
