What is recorded here

Àird Ghunail 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 lava flow formations along the Scottish coast.
