NG6934 : Crowlin Isles from above Culduie

4 km from Toscaig, Highland, Great Britain

Crowlin Isles from above Culduie
Crowlin Isles from above Culduie
From this vantage point, it's possible to see what is less apparent on the islands themselves - that the islands share the bedrock with the mainland, the sandstone strata dipping consistently with those near Toscaig in the foreground. The Caolas Mor is simply a glaciated valley that happens to be below sea level and thus divides the islands from the mainland.

In the background is Skye (geologically distinct from this area) and a handful of other islands of the Inner Sound.
