| Description: | Distant view from near Braulen Lodge, Strathfarrar, Inverness-shire. Reworked Lewisian in foreground. Sgurr na Lapaich, capped by Moine metasediments, in distance. This part of Glen Strathfarrar, together with the stretch of country leading towards the lower slopes of Sgurr na Lapaich, is underlain by an inlier of Lewisian gneiss, folded with the Moine rocks and remetamorphosed during the Caledonian orogeny. To the left and right, and also on the upper slopes of Sgurr na Lapaich, are Moine metasediments, which here are largely pelitic, i.e. formed by metamorphism of mudstones. The broad valley of Glen Strathfarrar narrows in the middle distance, where the river draining Loch Monar joins the River Farrar. |
