A' Chuith-Raing - A beauty of 175 Million years old

Landscape in Scotland is unique as well as majestic. Surely what most catch the attention is the greenish mountains of Skye and their unrivalled conformations in whole Europe.
In Trotternish ridge escarpement, North of Skye (Scotland), it can assist to one of the most suggestive and biggest glacial landslide ever seen in UK with its extension of 8.5 sq. km. It represents a remarkable landmark together with the Pinnacle of Storr at South. The rocks, formed in the Jurassic (~175 Ma) with deposition of sandstone, shale and limestone in a marine environment. They remained submerged until the sea level retread around 60 Ma. At the time, The continents were tearing apart and the huge stress fractured this area facilitating the several lava outflows whose layer reach a thickness up to 300 m. Consequently, once the lava outflows ceased, the Ice Ages emphasize the displacement of such fractured blocks, dragging them downward the valley during the melting processes. Nowadays an astonishing landscape is the result of these long and slow processes started 175 Million Years Ago
