Ard nan Capuill

Headland

Why this matters

Ard nan Capuill is a headland composed primarily of basaltic rock, formed during the Tertiary 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.
