Rum and the Small Isles

Landscape Fashioned by Geology Series

Scottish Natural Heritage

For such a small island, the range of landscapes on the Island of Rum is varied: from jagged peaks of Askival and Hallival, rounded hills of Orval and Ard Nev in the west, and the low 'stepped' topography north of Kinloch Glen. This publication shows how these features can be attributed to a geological history that stretches back nearly 3,000 million years and includes deserts, oceon floors, volcanoes, and glaciers.

Landscape Fashioned by Geology Series: These illustrated booklets explain how the countryside around us developed over geological time, relating familiar views to the rocks beneath. Produced jointly with the British Geological Survey.
