Geological Conservation Review site | GCR #3288 | Structural and Metamorphic Geology | Dalradian
A cross-section through Grampian and Appin Group rocks in the Kinlochlaggan Syncline, within the Geal-Charn - Ossian steep belt. Here, the Grampian and Appin groups are juxtaposed tectonically by the Allt Mhainisteir and Aonach Beag shear zones, and the rocks are highly strained.
Scotland's geosites are chosen because of their local, national or international importance. Take only photos, leave only footprints: avoid causing any damage to this site. You can walk almost anywhere in Scotland without the need to ask permission or keep to paths, but you have a responsibility to care for your own safety, to respect people's privacy and peace of mind and to cause no damage.
