Why this matters

Aird Feinis is a headland composed primarily of basaltic rock, formed during the Paleogene period through volcanic activity associated with the North Atlantic Igneous Province. It is notable for its resistant columnar jointing and coastal erosion features, typical of the igneous landscapes of the Western Isles.

What is recorded here

Aird Feinis 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.
