Box 3006, N-7001 Trondheim, Norway SYNOPSIS Primary (compactional) magnetic fabrics and multicomponent rem- anences are recognized in the Stoer and Torridon Groups. Low tempera- ture (LT) blocking remanences are randomized around 400-600°C and relate to a post-Torridonian magnetic overprint, possibly of early Mesozoic age. In the Stoer Group (and some Stoer boulders in the basal Torridon Group) LT remanences are partly or fully carried by magnetite (titanomagnetite). High temperature (HT) remanences are characterized by discrete unblocking above 600°C, having a specular haematite remanence carrier. Results of a conglomerate test of some Stoer boulders provides a positive stability test for HT remanences in the Torridon Group, and a convergence of evidence suggests that remanence acquisi- tion of both the Stoer and Torridon Groups was facilitated by both detrital and early diagenetic processes.

WESTER ROSS Wester Ross Ross Wester 212 © Lonelyplanet Walk Tooneofscotland’Sfinestcorries, Coire Mhicfhearchair
© Lonely Planet 212 Wester Ross Wester Ross is heaven for hillwalkers: a remote and starkly beautiful part of the High- lands with lonely glens and lochs, an intricate coastline of rocky headlands and white-sand beaches, and some of the finest mountains in Scotland. If you are lucky with the weather, the clear air will provide rich colours and great views from the ridges and summits. In poor conditions the remoteness of the area makes walking a much more serious proposition. Whatever the weather, the walking can be difficult, so this is no place to begin learning mountain techniques. But if you are fit and well equipped, Wester Ross will be immensely rewarding – and addictive. The walks described here offer a tantalising taste of the area’s delights and challenges. An Teallach’s pinnacle-encrusted ridge is one of Scotland’s finest ridge walks, spiced with some scrambling. Proving that there’s much more to walking in Scotland than merely jumping out of the car (or bus) and charging up the nearest mountain, Beinn Dearg Mhór, in the heart of the Great Wilderness, makes an ideal weekend outing. This Great Wilderness – great by Scottish standards at least – is big enough to guarantee peace, even solitude, during a superb two-day traverse through glens cradling beautiful lochs. Slioch, a magnificent peak overlooking Loch Maree, offers a comparatively straightforward, immensely scenic ascent. In the renowned Torridon area, Beinn Alligin provides an exciting introduction to its consider- WESTER ROSS able challenges, epitomised in the awesome traverse of Liathach, a match for An Teallach in every way.

The original character assessment reports, part of a series of 30, mostly for a local authority area, included a “Background Chapter” on the formation of the landscape. These documents have been revised because feedback said they are useful, despite the fact that other sources of information are now readily available on the internet, unlike in the 1990’s when the first versions were produced. The content of the chapters varied considerably between the reports, and it has been restructured into a more standard format: Introduction, Physical Influences and Human Influences for all areas; and Cultural Influences sections for the majority.

Beinn Eighe and Liathach for Grandeur: a Visit to Its Lochan Is a Must
H of Wester Ross 1 Gairloch District: from Little Loch Broom to Loch Torridon 1 The central part of Wester Ross, from Little Loch Broom to Loch Torridon, is privileged to have an unmatched collection of mountains – or rather hills, as they are traditionally known in Scotland. The main service centre of this area is Gairloch, from which they can all be reached. The aim of this booklet is to introduce these hills to both active and armchair hill- walkers. It is not a complete guide; for that you need something like the SMC North West Highlands guide, plus a good map. But it contains hints from local knowledge, relevant geological information, and a lot of pictures. Fine weather is assumed (yes, there are fine days here!): if possible, don’t climb these hills without it, unless you enjoy the mere exercise or the navigational challenge, or you are simply bagging summits (p20)! And remember that in snowy winter conditions hill-walking is transformed into a different and more technical sport – mountaineering. Our hills are not high by continental standards, but while the greater ranges are still rising or being worn down (which may take only 50 million years), ours have been carved by ice out of truly ancient rocks: gneiss (p11), amphibolite (p19), sandstone (p23), and quartzite (p27), each with its own distinct character as you walk on it. This geology, everywhere visible, explains why the landscape here is so much rockier, rougher and more varied than the land further east, which was overrun by the softer rock of the mountain-building Moine Thrust (p35).

Un- fortunately there is neither a Carnegie nor a Strathcona to take an interest in Gaelic literature. 7th DECEMBER, 1905. On this evening the following paper from the pen of the Rev. C. M. Robertson, Strontian, was read: FOLK-LORE FROM THE WEST OF ROSS-SHIRE. The following examples of the folk-lore of the West of the County of Ross and Cromarty have been collected during the years 1900 to 1904. Many, perhaps most, of them can lay little claim to novelty, but they supply evidence of the inclu- sion of this district in their area of distribution. They have been gathered almost wholly in Lochcarron, Kenlochewe, and, more especially, Torridon and Little Lochbroom. The two latter are the less and less known places among " frequented parts of the district. In Gairloch : Its Records, Traditions, Inhabitants, and Natural History," by Mr J. H. Dixon, a book whose high merits are well known, the folk-lore of that parish is well represented, and much of what comes under one or other of the sub-divisions of Folk- lore has found a place in various volumes of our Society's Transactions. Most of what is contained in the follow- ing pages belongs to the special division of Superstition. Of folk-lore matter noted, topographical sayings, communal nicknames and proverbs are not given. The last named, for the most part, are already known. Rhymes and sayings about places are plentiful. One that is said to have been uttered by Kenneth Odhar on first seeing the mountains named, is Beinn Eighe 's Beinn an Eoin, Beinn mhor a' Chearcaill duibh ; Liathach 's a mac air a muin, 'S mairg air an tuiteadh an sac Ann am bac moine.
