Extract

The minerals to be described were found by Dr. Duncan M. Morison, of Edinburgh, and the writer in a small quarry having a national grid reference of 29/076184, which is at present being excavated for road surfacing material. The quarry is situated on the east side of the coast road between Lochinver and Ullapool at a point ¼ mile south-west of the southern margin of Loch an Arbhair (called Loch a' Choin on early editions of the Ordnance Survey sheet 101) and ¾ mile south-west of the bridge carrying the Lochinver-Ullapool road over the river Kirkaig, the course of which here marks the boundary between the counties of Sutherland and Ross.
