What is recorded here
An Àird is a sea cliff or coastal headland composed primarily of basalt, formed during the Paleogene period through volcanic activity associated with the North Atlantic Igneous Province. It is notable for its resistant rock formations that have withstood coastal erosion, contributing to the dramatic landscape of the Scottish Highlands.
