| Description: | From Sligachan, Cuillin Hills, Skye, Inverness-shire. Sgurr nan Gillean, a mountain composed of gabbro. The great mountain group of central Skye is eroded out of Tertiary plutonic masses that form a central igneous complex. The complex consists of an arcuate mass of ultrabasic rocks in the centre that is enveloped and intruded by the gabbro, itself a complex of cone-sheets and dykes. This was followed by the acid intrusions of the Red Hills. Sgurr nan Gillean is part of the gabbro complex. |
