On this guided walk we will explore the geological history of Glen Nevis, from the first formation of the rocks in primordial oceans a billion years ago, through the continental collision which formed the Caledonian mountains to more recent glacial shaping of the landscape. Glen Nevis is a brilliant place to explore how the Ice Age shaped our hills, with Nevis Gorge, Steall Falls and the Meadow classic examples of post-glacial landforms. On the way into the Meadow we will examine the rocks which formed the ancient basement of the Caledonian mountains and see the red Nevis granite – evidence of the immense pressure and temperatures existing deep in mountain roots.
