(2012-02-28) | Thanks Angie .
Not megalithic Caradoc , but not sure of the geological explanation . | Andy B
(2012-02-28) | I suppose it can't be man made otherwise you would see working or wear around the base as it was hauled into position. Is this granite - it can't be weathering can it? Looks positively mysterious to me :) | tiompan
(2012-02-28) | No granite in this area , probably schistose . | Andy B
(2012-02-28) | OK, will look it up. I knew it must be metamorphic but my geology is a bit, erm... | davidmorgan
(2012-02-29) | Dalradian schist? - after the Dál Riata peoples. If you Google "Glen Lyon geology", you'll see a geological map of the area from scottishnativewoods.org.uk. | tiompan
(2012-02-29) | Dalriadian schist is an umbrella term covering a lot of highland Scotland .The geology map for the area describes the bedrock as Ben Lui schist formation which is not much help either . Semipelite and felsite are common to the area . | davidmorgan
(2012-02-29) | Sometimes I wish I knew a bit of geology/petrology! |
