| Description: | North-east of Tornapress, head of Loch Kishorn, looking north-west, Ross & Cromarty. Valley cut along outcrop of Kishorn thrust plane. Cambrian dolomite on right; Lower Torridon shale on left. Closely-spaced fractures dipping to the left at about 50 degrees just to the left of the large pale limestone exposure in the stream bed mark the approximate position of the Kishorn thrust. In the steep slopes on the left are exposures of argillaceous rocks of the Diabaig Formation (Torridonian), which are inverted and a short distance away to the east (left) are overlain by Lewisian gneiss in the inverted limb of the Kishorn Nappe. |
