GCR Beinn an Dubhaich Spectacular calc-silicate and skarn mineral assemblages are developed in carbonate sediments at the granite contacts, along with a limited development of alkali granite. GCR Coire Uaigneich The distinctive mineralogy of the Coire Uaigneich granophyre indicates that it crystallized under shallow, near-surface conditions and its bulk composition shows that it received a substantial contribution from the Torridonian sediments. It is the only sizeable granitic intrusion belonging to the Cuillin centre and it is older than the other Skye granites. GCR Cuillin Hills [Quaternary of Scotland] Geological importance from the Quarternary period. GCR Cuillin Hills [Tertiary Igneous] Excellent exposure of a wide variety of arcuate ultrabasic and gabbroic intrusions. The site is the best area in the British Tertiary Volcanic Province where the roots of a major volcanic complex may be examined in detail. GCR Eyre Point Part of the British Permian – Triassic represented by continental ‘red bed’ sediments. GCR Kilchrist [Tertiary Igneous] Excellent examples of ignimbrites, tuffs and rhyolite flows are interbedded with agglomerates. The lava flows and volcaniclastic rocks are preserved in a downfaulted block bounded by a ring-dyke of hybrid (mixed-magma) rocks and the Beinn na Caillich Granite. GCR Maol na Gainmhich Closely related to the Marsco site (see below). The Marsco and Mheall a' Mhaoil sites are dominated by various granite Appendix 2: Environmental Constraints Page 4 and felsite intrusions which belong to the Western Red Hills centre. GCR Marsco The Marsco site is dominated by various granite and felsite intrusions which belong to the Western Red Hills centre. The Marsco site provides key evidence from a variety of contacts for the relative ages of several of the superimposed granite intrusions forming the Western Red Hills centre.

  • 2-DAY TOUR to EILEAN DONAN CASTLE, LOCH NESS & the WEST
    2-DAY TOUR to EILEAN DONAN CASTLE, LOCH NESS & the WEST HIGHLANDS DAY 1 We leave Edinburgh and head west on a motorway that links the capital to Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland and its industrial heartland. From Glasgow, we pass Stirling on the right, the site of the Battle of Bannockburn where, in 1314, a Scottish army under King Robert the Bruce won a crucial victory against the English. Dominating the town is Stirling Castle which sits high on a large volcanic rock. Prominently sited on a hill close to Stirling is the Wallace Monument, our first stop of the day. It is 67 metres high and was built in the 1860’s to commemorate our great freedom fighter, William Wallace, who led an army against the English and defeated them at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297. He was immortalised in the 1995 film ‘Braveheart’. You will have the chance to visit the monument* and the museum inside which has Wallace’s massive sword (1.7 metres long) on display. There are excellent views from the top. At Stirling we head west. Soon we cross over the river Teith and as we do so, on the right, is the very imposing Doune Castle. Next we drive through Callander, and in the area where the Clan MacGregor reigned in the Middle Ages : the clans were extremely powerful at that time and the best known MacGregor was Rob Roy who was born in 1671. At the next village, Tyndrum, the road divides and we head north into a very sparsely populated area.

  • Earth As a Whole and Geographic Coordinates
    NAME:____________________________________________________________ 1 GO THERE—MYSTERIES OF LOCH NESS, SCOTLAND Use FLY TO and enter Loch Ness, Scotland as the destination. The view will settle in at about 15 miles EYE ALTITUDE, centered about midshore on the northeast coast of the Loch. Note how the cursor (cross-hairs) is labeled Loch Ness, United Kingdom in the VIEW WINDOW. Describe the shape and orientation of Loch Ness based on this view in the box below. Does the shape of the Loch remind you of other bodies of land-based bodies of surface water, and if so what kind? Based on this observation and comparison, describe whether or not the water in the lake is predominantly stationary or rapidly flowing, and give reasons for your arguments in the box below. Without using the ZOOM feature, use the HAND CURSOR and sweep across the lake and along its axis and to determine the average elevation of the lake. Remember that Google Earth® uses an averaging mechanism of regularly spaced coordinates to generate elevations, and that the apparent elevation of the lake is affected by elevations along its shoreline. Record and interpret your findings below. Go to the LAYERS WINDOW, and make sure that the WATER BODIES LAYER is checked in the folder of Geographic Features. In the box below, what do you suppose, based on the other labeled water bodies in the area, the word Loch means? Turn off the WATER BODIES LAYER. The outlines of the WATER BODIES LAYER does not directly overlie the images used as the base for GOOGLE EARTH® in the VIEW WINDOW.

  • Community Links & Recreational Routes Options Appraisal 2019
    EDINBANE COMMUNITY LINKS & RECREATIONAL ROUTES OPTIONS APPRAISAL 2019 for: Edinbane Community Company by Mike Hyatt Landscape Architects TEAM Mike Hyatt Landscaape Architects, Led by Mike Hyatt have carried out the survey work and liaised with the client group. He has also led on developing the proposals that are set out in this document. Arvika Consult, consultant engineers led by Frank McCulloch have assisted with survey work and with engineering solutions and costing Work has been carried out February to May 2019 INTRODUCTION This report was commissioned by Edinbane Community Company (ECC) in January 2019. The report is set out in referenece to the Client Brief, it focuses on the Community Links routes that are imported for local people SKYE to link their communities to services, places of employment and to each other. SCOPE The survey looked at identifying potential cycling walking routes from north of Flashader through Edinbane and on to Greshornish and Dunvegan. This would open up a total of 27km of new path the majority of these routes closely follow the main road the A850. The routes are set out on the Wider Path Network Map. The focus of the detailed survey work has been the 0.5km missing link from Flashader to opposite the campsite at Borve. This section links with existing paths, that if joined, would provide a safe route between the neighbouring communities of Flashader, Kildonan and Fanks to the north and Borve and Edinbane to the south. The wider network representing approximately 23km of potential routes was inspected at representative and key locations such as at junctions and sites of potential obstacles.
