Hills of North Arran (s/w)

6. April 2013

Nach unserem kurzen Besuch des Lochranza Castle gab es nur noch einen kurzen Stop am Strassenrand, um die eindrucksvolle Bergkette im Norden Arrans im Bild festzuhalten, bevor es flott zurück nach Brodick ging.


Northern hills of Arran – pushed up from the deep

Although not the oldest rocks in this area, at a mere 60 million years old, the granite hills in the north of Arran are by far the most prominent.

At that time Greenland and North America were joined to the north-west coast of Britain, and the Atlantic Ocean was just beginning to open as the Eurasian and North American continents drifted apart.

Cracks related to this opening formed down the Firth of Clyde, beginning to determine the outline of Arran and the sea lochs to the north.

It is worth noting that Arran has been an island longer than Britain, which was still joined to the rest of Europe after the last Ice Age.
