View of the nothern granite on Arran, with the Waverley in the foreground

Granite is a resistant rock, and more that 60 million years of erosion has worn down the surrounding rocks much more than the granite, leaving the granite to stand up to form Goat Fell and the other peaks in north Arran.

The Waverley is a famous paddle-steamer that cruises around the Scottish Islands.
