Layers of Torridonian sandstone exposed near DiabaigSlioch formed of Torridon Group sandstones lying on an irregular unconformity over Lewisian gneiss, seen in the middle and foreground around Loch Maree
In geology, the term Torridonian is the informal name for the Torridon Group, a series of Mesoproterozoic[1] to Neoproterozoic arenaceous and argillaceous sedimentary rocks, which occur extensively in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland. The strata of the Torridonian Group are particularly well exposed in the district of upper Loch Torridon, a circumstance which suggested the name Torridon Sandstone, first applied to these rocks by James Nicol.[2] Stratigraphically, they lie unconformably on gneisses of the Lewisian complex and their outcrop extent is restricted to the Hebridean Terrane.[3]
