This pillar, retaining all its original sharpness of angle, lies on its 
side at the very highest part of the whole range. 
Though there is no evidence that ice has been over the top of 
these cliffs, there is evidence that it has been at the bottom. 
The southern shore of Stainchol Bay is, with the little island at its 
eastern horn, stretched like a half-opened hand, so as to catch every- 
thing which may have been carried from the north along the eastern 
shore. 
Among the rounded masses lying on the beach, there are blocks of 
the same Cambrian conglomerate which occurs at the Shiant Islands, 
and of a larger size. 
On account of the position of Stainchol Island, it is not likely 
that these could have come from any point east of north. 
On the island itself, no boulders were seen except on the S.W. 
shore; several consisting of dolerite, in which labradorite is well 
seen, lie here. A rock of the same nature occurs about 50 yards to 
M.W. 
Loch Torridon and Loch Maree. — The position of “ The thousand 
hills ” (consisting of dirt cones and delta heaps) in Glen Torridon, 
and the smoothed rocks at the head of the glen, leave no room for 
doubt that a true glacier had descended this glen from the north and 
east. But, on the other hand, the till at the very summit-level 
between Glen Docharty and the head of Loch Boisk, has indubitably 
been water-dressed, and the dressing agent seems to have come up 
Glen Docharty. 
The ice had apparently come out of every corry of the eastern sides 
of Leagach and Eye, to merge into the Torridon glacier. 
But, on the other hand, there were found on Scuir na Convaran 
(a KE. quartzite spur of Ben Eye) boulders of hornblende rock, 
hornblendic gneiss, and of Cambrian sandstone. 
The hornblendic boulders were very similar to the hornblende of 
Ben Arrichar on the north shore of Maree, 13 miles to the west- 
ward. 
As they lay much in line, in order to ascertain that they were not 
merely the turned-over fragments of a vein, though such a thing was 
most improbable, the ground was carefully scanned by several pairs 
of eyes, but no fixed mass was found.
