The Black Cuillins at Sunset
This is just a small part of the Cuillin Mountain range . The black Cuillins are largely made of Gabbro metamorphic rock giving the mountains their dark colour . What you are seeing is the magma chamber of a long gone volcano that with weathering and uplift reveals these amazing mountains , making it a great place for Geologist and Volcanoligists to study.
