| Description: | The Pinnacle ridge of Sgurr nan Gillean, Cuillin Hills, Sligachan, Skye, Inverness-shire. A mountain composed of the gabbro sub-complex of a greater Tertiary plutonic central igneous complex that covers both the Cuillins and the Red Hills. The notches and gullies, with other vertical fissures are due to preferential erosion along the less resistant intrusive dykes compared with the more resistant gabbro into which they are intruded. The outcrops of the inclined sheets of dolerite, the cone-sheets are seen running nearly horizontally along the steep slopes. |
