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 :)

No granite in this area , probably schistose .

OK, will look it up. I knew it must be metamorphic but my geology is a bit, erm...

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.

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 .

Sometimes I wish I knew a bit of geology/petrology!
