Michael Fowler asked:

"My guess is that the impact was at an oblique angle, 
since we have many other impact structures without 
such pyroclastic like flows. 

Anyone know where the impact crater (if preserved) 
is in relationship to the flow deposits?"

The crater is hypothesized to lie under the Minch, which is a 
strait that separates the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides 
from the north-west Highlands of Scotland. If this is the case,
then it lies at the bottom of the Minch Basin and buried beneath 
Precambrian Torridonian strata and a thickness of Permo-Triassic 
and Liassic sediments that fill this basin.
