| Description: | View from left to right, Ardnish, Moidart and Ardnamurchan, looking south-west across the Sound of Arisaig from the slopes of Beasdale, South Morar. The rocks in foreground consist of gneisses of the Lewisian in the core of the large, open Morar antiform. Beyond the foreground are the younger Moine metasedimentary rocks of the Morar Division. The Lewisian is considered to be parautochthonous representing infolds of basement that has probably been transported far on the underlying Moine Thrust. Ardnish and Moidart and the east part of Ardnamurchan are also of Moine age while peninsula Ardnamurchan is a Tertiary central igneous complex. |
