Quinag and Loch a' Chàirn an Bhàin

The north faces of Sàil Ghorm (right) and Sàil Ghàrbh (left) , the two northern spurs of Quinag, with Loch a' Chàirn an Bhàin in the foreground, taken from near Kylestrome at grid ref. NC 21161 34782.
Quinag is comprised of Torridonian Sandstone resting unconformably on Lewisian Gneiss which forms the rough hummocky ground in the foreground and middle distance. The very summit of Sàil Ghàrbh is comprised of pale grey Cambrian Basal Quartzite, also resting unconformably on the Torridonian Sandstone. So there is a double unconformity in this photo.
