| Description: | Views from Wards of Hostigates, looking north to Vementry House, Mainland, Shetland Isles. Vementry Island is in middle distance and the granophyre cliffs of Muckle Roe can be seen in the far distance. The foreground is the typical topography of the calcareous series of metamorphic rocks. The metamorphic rocks are of late Precambrian age and the granophyre, part of the Northmaven Plutonic Complex, was intruded into the metamorphic rocks during the Devonian period. Vementry Island is composed of four main groups of rocks, the West Burra Firth Group as in the foreground, calc-schists and limestones; the Vementry Group of hornblende-schists; the Neeans Group of platy feldspathic muscovite-schist; lastly granite. |
