Knockan Crag

The exposed rock at Knockan Crag is extremely interesting as it distinctly shows two different geological layers.

It is also unusual as the older rock is on top of a younger rock – this arises through tectonic movements over many hundreds of millions of years.

There is a visitor centre and a well illustrated walk up the hillside to what is called the Moine Thrust, where you can see and touch the rock layers,. From there you can continue up to a great viewpoint complete with benches to sit on and admire the view from. For more details on the Moine Thrust Belt go here to Wikipedia.

I tried out the Pano app from this viewpoint.

I have only looked at the results on my small iPhone screen not on a bigger screen yet but the image on the iPhone seemed OK. The app was very easy go use – and fun. One thing to remember is if you manually select an exposure point then remember to set it on each of the mosaic images.
