| Description: | Skye from Camusteel, in Applecross, looking towards the south-west, Ross and Cromarty. The mountains of Skye are formed of a major Tertiary central igneous complex. The complex contains several centres, the earliest is the Cuillin Centre composed of a succession of gabbroic and peridotitic rocks. This was cut by the granites of the Srath na Creitheach Centre and by the later Western Red Hills Centre, then the Eastern Red Hills Centre followed by minor gabbro and hybrid intrusions. |
