| Description: | East face of Sgurr na Muice, 3 km. north of Braulen Lodge, Strathfarrar, Inverness-shire. Lewisian gneiss underlying band of gneissose Moine pelite, and massive Moine psammite. Lower slopes of mountain are underlain by a thin slice of Lewisian gneiss, reworked during the Caledonian orogeny. Close to the lowest snow patch on the right, is the Sgurr Beag Slide, along which the Moine Supergroup rocks have moved over the Lewisian. They are mostly psammites (metamorphosed sandstones), some almost quartzites, and form the steep, regularly-jointed face near the summit of the mountain. Between the two prominent snow-filled gullies is a layer of gneissose pelite (metamorphosed mudstone). |
