Geological Map of Minginish - south-western part of Skye - Specifically, this is Sheet 70 of the Geological Survey of Scotland series, originally published by the Ordnance Survey. Scale: 1:63,360 (one inch to one mile) or 1:50,000 in later editions. It includes the Cuillin range, Soay, and areas like Drynoch, Carbost, and Talisker. The map primarily highlights Palaeogene igneous rocks, such as the layered gabbros and peridotites of the Cuillin Hills, represented by the darker, complex patterns on the right. The pink and green areas typically represent lava flows and other volcanic formations. This appears to be a ”Drift” (superficial deposits) or a combined ”Solid and Drift” edition from around 1964, which shows both the bedrock and the glacial materials left behind by retreating glaciers.
