| Description: | Looking north-east from the east side of Lochan an Iasgaich towards Beinn Eighe, Ross and Cromarty. Cambrian quartzite caps Torridonian sandstone in repeatedly thrust sheets. This area, part of the Caledonian foreland to the west of the Moine Thrust has undergone considerable thrusting associated with the earth movements of the Caledonian Orogeny. The Cambrian quartzites dipping gently to the east have been repeatedly thrust in an imbricate structure with the thrusts also dipping eastwards. |
