| Description: | 1.0 km. east of Caisteal Abhail, head of Glen Sannox, Isle of Arran, Buteshire. Characteristic weathering of a granite mountain cut by dykes. At (I), a dyke (7.3 m. wide) cuts the granite, the upper part of which has weathered out forming the deep rift of Ceum na Caillich (the 'Witch's Stride') on the right skyline. Arran is one of the series of Tertiary volcanic centres grouped along the west coast of Scotland and relates to a period of crustal extension between 55 and 61 million years ago. Similar aged lavas and intrusions in the Faeroes and East Greenland were all once part of the same Tertiary igneous province, before being separated by the opening of the Atlantic Ocean. |
