Breathtaking if you are into rock, weird and wonderful if your not.

Offset by a blustery days clouds.

Lewisian Gneiss

An area of North West Highlands Geopark known as ‘The Foreland’ lies to the west of the Moine Thrust Zone and includes most of the coastal townships, apart from Durness. The Foreland is largely made up of Lewisian Gneiss, which at 3000 million years old is the oldest rock type in Britain.

Because they were once part of the same continent, the same rock type is found in North America and Greenland. The rock has been eroded and scoured by glaciers to form the many hillocks (‘cnoc’) and small lakes (‘lochans’) typical of the north west. In many areas the Lewisian Gneiss is overlaid with Torridonian Sandstone, for example at Rhu Coigach, Rhu Stoer, Oldshoremore and the mountains of Quinag, Suilven and Stac Polly.
