Another great #geology day in #Scotland today after leaving Ullapool we stopped at #CorrieshallochGorge and Eilan Donan castle before reaching the #IsleofSkye where we took a trip with #MistyIsle to #LochCoruisk and the #blackcuillin These mountains are arguably the most dramatic in Britain and are the roots of a Paleogene #volcano The rock was once the magma chamber of the volcano and has since been sculpted by Ice Age ice into mountains and lochs. The rock we saw was layered bytonite gabbro containing xenoliths. We also saw peridotite in boulders and outcropping on the mountain above as well as dykes, glacial striations and erratics. On the sail out we saw Common #seals and on the return Common #dolphins In #Elgol where the boat sailed from we also saw #Jurassic sandstone with honeycomb weathering and several dykes.

The #CorrieshallochGorge was definitely impressive but even more so once I cracked the #Phantom4Pro 😜🏴 (at Corrieshalloch Gorge National Nature Reserve)
