Xenoliths The patches of darker rock set into the pinkish Ross of Mull granite are &#039;Xenoliths&#039; - lumps of the surrounding rock which broke off and fell into the molten granite while it was deep underground. It has since solidified and been exposed on the surface by erosion.

Ruined Cottage A sad reminder that people once lived and worked in this beautiful place. There are piles of stones cleared from the ground to show that the land was cultivated and several other cottages in the vicinity saying that it was a good place to make a living.
