What is recorded here

Am Bile is a sea cliff located in the Highland region of Scotland, composed primarily of basaltic rock formed during the Paleogene period, around 60 to 55 million years ago. These cliffs were shaped by volcanic activity associated with the opening of the North Atlantic and subsequent erosion by the sea, and they are notable for their dramatic coastal scenery and geological significance in the context of the Scottish Highlands' volcanic history.
