Canisp from Creag Dharaich

A fine evening looking over the chaotic knock-and-lochan landscape of the Lewisian Gneiss foreland towards Canisp one of the relict Torridonian Sandstone mountains. The red Torridonian Sandstone of Canisp lies unconformably on the Lewisian Gneiss and is itself unconformably overlain by the pale grey Cambrian Basal Quartzite just visible on the summit.
