| Description: | Looking south-east from road 1.6 km. south-east of Laxford Bridge, Ben Stack, Sutherland. Probably the highest mountain in Scotland composed of Lewisian gneiss. A minute patch of Cambrian quartzite forms the actual summit. The Lewisian gneiss represent a long and varied part of the earth's history. They show evidence of being formed and repeatedly deformed deep within the crust over a period of 1800 Ma. The history of the Lewisian is very complex and subject to much debate. |
