Arran is a complex geological feature where the rocks of a large collapsed volcanic caldera have been intruded by dykes of lava from more recent tertiary volcanoes only 30 million years ago. Many other layers of rock make up the lower land of the island, the majority were heavily faulted during this period and the deep water channels that separate the island from the mainland have been eroded along some of these lines of weakness.
