Bay of Brough

Bay of Brough is shown as a bay on the public map of Orkney Islands. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

The Bay of Brough features sandstone and conglomerate rock formations, primarily from the Jurassic period, around 160 to 180 million years old. These rocks were deposited in a shallow marine environment and are notable for their well-preserved fossil content, including ammonites and belemnites, making the area of interest to geologists and fossil collectors.
