| Caption: | Marsco from the north-west, 4.8 km. south-south-east of Sligachan, Skye, Inverness-shire. |
| Description: | Marsco is essentially two granite intrusions composed of the Southern Porphyritic Granite and the Marsco Granite. Also associated is the Marscoite Suite of rocks that represent various degrees of intermingling of acid and basic magmas, the resulting hybrid rock occurs as narrow strips separating the gabbro masses (as on the summit) and the surrounding granites. A granophyre mountain with included masses (the prominent features) of gabbro. Part of the Red Hills centre of the larger Tertiary central igneous complex that covers the deeply eroded mountains of central Skye. |
