What is recorded here
Àird a' Chaolais is shown as a headland on the public map of Na h-Eileanan Siar. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Àird a' Chaolais is a headland composed primarily of basaltic rock, formed during the Paleogene period through volcanic activity associated with the North Atlantic Igneous Province. Its notable columnar jointing and coastal erosion features make it a distinctive example of ancient volcanic terrain along the western Scottish coast.
