| Description: | North face of Beinn Liath Mhor, 4 km. north-west of Achnashellach Lodge, Ross & Cromarty. Folded and thrust Torridon Sandstone with infolds of Cambrian quartzite. At extreme right of view dark Torridonian rocks have been thrust over Cambrian strata, cutting out the overturned limb of an anticline. The pale-coloured part of the ridge, marked by abundant white scree, marks the outcrop of the quartzites of the Cambrian Eriboll Sandstone Formation, which have been folded into a syncline. In the distance, the dark rocks on the eastern summit of Bein Liath Mhor are Torridonian sandstone in the core of the next anticline to the east. This anticline is gradually replaced northwards by a second thrust plane, which cuts out the inverted limb on Beinn Liath Bheag. |
