Cuillin View, Isle of Skye
August 2004
The Cuillin Hills on the Isle of Skye are a 12km-long horseshoe-shaped ridge in central Skye. They are made of gabbroic intrusive igneous rocks (basaltic composition). The intrusion took place in Tertiary times, about 55-60 million years ago. Around the same time the Red Hills (Granite) to the east and the plateau basalts (flood basalts) in Northwestern Skye formed. Slightly later smaller igneous intrusions cut through the Cuillin rocks as sills or dykes, which contributes to the rugged appearance of the Hills today.
