| Description: | Slioch and Loch Maree, Ross and Cromarty. A Torridonian sandstone mountain of the Applecross Formation resting on the Lewisian gneiss basement. The distinction in rock type is clearly seen in the photograph. The pre-Torridonian land surface was irregular and had high relief, in the vicinity of Slioch hills of gneiss rise up to 600 m. above the pre-Torridonian valley floors. The Applecross Formation consists of 2500 m. of fluvial, strongly cross-bedded, red-brown to pale red arkosic sandstone. The source area for its deposition was a mountainous area to the west, the eastern margin of which occupied the area of present day Outer Hebrides |
