| Description: | Looking south-south-east from road 2.4 km. north of Kinloch Lodge, Ben Loyal, Sutherland. The mountain is made from a late-Caledonian Orogeny intrusion of syenite. The slabby buttresses and summit top are typical of such uniform plutonic masses when they form mountains. The intrusion itself consists of two quartz syenites. An outer syenite has a laminated two-feldspar rock where the lamination roughly concordant with the foliation of the surrounding schists. The inner mass is a coarse, non-laminated syenite with a gradational contact with the outer syenite. |
