| Description: | Telephoto view from Green Head, western Shetland, Sheltand Isles. The island of Vaila, north-eastward to (left to right), Ram's Head, Green Head and Bight of Seli Stack. Hills of east Mainland in background. Vaila is composed mostly of Middle Old Red Sandstone Walls Formation, a series of highly folded sandstones that have undergone thermal metamorphism due to the intrusion of the Sandsting Complex, a granitic to ultrabasic intrusive igneous complex. Ram's Head is composed of thermally metamorphosed, evenly bedded baked sediment with a granite sill. Green Head is a porphyritic microgranodiorite and the Bight of Seli Stack a concordant granite-sediment junction. |
