The Ben Nevis (the tallest mountain in Great Britain at 4406 feet at its peak) massif originated around 350 million years ago when it was part of a massive and very active volcano. The rocks that we now see were once the molten larva flows or igneous intrusions within the volcano. There are four major intrusions - the Outer and Inner Quartz Diorites and the Outer and Inner Granites - which originated as successive and concentric ring-dykes (almost like circles one around the other) and are now exposed along the sides of Allt a' Mhuilinn. The lavas are of the Lower Old Red Sandstone age.
