Description: Looking north-west from 0.4 km. north-north-east of Torridon House, Ross & Cromarty. Torridonian sandstone country. The marked 'nick' on the Horns of Alligin (centre) is the result of an immense rock fall determined by fault/joint intersection. The mountains composed of Torridonian rocks typically have developed with precipices of deeply-eroded, generally flat-bedded strata to form some of the most spectacular scenery of the UK.
