Torridonian Sandstone This cliff is part of the Leac-Stearnan Member of the Applecross Formation. The waving lines on the rock face are sedimentary layers which have been deformed, perhaps by a process like the shaking of quicksand, before they had become properly lithified.

Torridonian Sandstone This sloping rock is the surface of a bed of Torridonian Sandstone which has been tilted from the horizontal by tectonic forces. The swirling lines on the surface are the result of the sediments being gently deformed, perhaps by a process like shaking of quicksand, before they solidified to rock.
