The Lewisian gneiss on Tiree was transormed at a depth in the earth's crust of many kilometers under great temperature and pressure.

The remote island of Tiree is to be found due west of Mull. It is the most westerly of the Inner Hebrides. Miles of unspoilt beaches, the wild flowers, including rare orchids, spread out townships and a more relaxed pace of life has become a magnet for outdoor enthusiasts. For more details begin at the trip from Oban.
