Geology
It seems that any mention of Geology is missing in this article, yet a quick look on google finds a Ben Hope Thrust and a Ben Hope Sill here and this seems to place Ben Hope in the Moine_Supergroup#Morar_Group and then this wiki has a section under an image of Ben Hope saying
Ben Hope looking north-north-east from Alltnacaillich, Sutherland. The coarde-grained Moine psammites have been intruded by a substantial basic sill, now an amphilbolite, which forms the prominent escarpment on the right of the picture
- couple of typos in there but that sill is presumably the Ben Hope sill - and presumably it's amphibolite while Ben Hope is presumably course grained moine psmaitte - though the topmost reference seemed to suggest schists and gneiss. And then finally this pdf looks to be the geological detail for the fold and thrust zone in the area by Robert Holdsworth (redlink is the same as the entry in the Aberconway_Medal article. I think it needs a slightly more coherent overview than I'm able to create from the links above as I don't know the geography of the area EdwardLane (talk) 09:39, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
