| Description: | Sgurr Dubh, Coulin, Ross & Cromarty. A mountain of folded Torridonian sandstone and Cambrian quartzite. Lower slopes of Sgurr Dubh (centre distance) consist of dark red Torridonian (Applecross Formation) sandstone folded into a complex syncline. On the upper slopes Lower Cambrian (Eriboll Formation) quartzites form the core of the syncline. On the western slopes, the Torridonian sandstone is thrust along relatively steeply-dipping thrust planes over Cambrian quartzite. In the far distance is Liathach, a mountain composed of Torridonian sandstone with a cap of Cambrian quartzite. Note isolated Scots pines along river. |
