Shear Zone in Lewisian Gneiss

Bhatarsaigh Causeway Quarry
This is the hole left at the southern end of the Isle of Barra, where the stone for the causeway was quarried. It is mostly Lewisian gneiss, but there are some later igneous dykes cutting vertically through the gneiss just right of centre. The large boulders mark the quarry limits and deter some inappropriate uses of the quarry.
