| Description: | Distant view of Conival (left) and Ben More Assynt (right), from Inchnadamph, Sutherland. Mountains of folded and thrust quartzite and gneiss. Piled-up limestone in middle distance. Low ground in foreground covered by alluvial deposits at head of Loch Assynt. Hill behind Inchnadamph Hotel made of Cambrian An t-Sron Formation (sandstone and mudstone) and Durness Group (limestone) rocks cut by numerous gently-dipping thrusts. The mountains behind lie above the Ben More Thrust Plane. Quartzites of the Cambrian Eriboll Sandstone Formation form the hill slope on the left and the pale screes just to the right of the col. The underlying Lewisian gneiss forms the summit of Ben More Assynt beyond. |
