What is recorded here
Ardintigh Bay features a sea cliff composed primarily of Lewisian gneiss, some of the oldest rocks in Britain, dating back approximately 2.7 to 3 billion years. These metamorphic rocks formed deep within the Earth's crust through intense heat and pressure, later exposed by erosion and glacial activity, making the site notable for its ancient geological history.
