| Caption: | Looking north-east across Loch Glencoul to Aird da Loch and Beinn Aird, Sutherland. |
| Description: | Before the deposition of the Cambrian, erosion had produced a very flat suface, it is not known if this was due to marine erosion or subaerial peneplain. Cambrian sediments were deposited in a shallow shelf sea. The Glencoul Thrust truncates the Fucoid Beds and above it comes the huge slice of transported gneiss forming Beinn Aird. Lewisian gneiss is overlain unconformably by eastwardly-dipping Cambrian quartzite followed by a thin band of Cambrian Fucoid Beds. Part of a panorama with C0340 and C0342. |
