What is recorded here
The Bight of Laward is a coastal bay on the Shetland Islands, characterized by sea cliffs and rocky shores formed primarily from Old Red Sandstone, dating back to the Devonian period (approximately 400–360 million years ago). The area is notable for its dramatic coastal scenery and the geological processes of erosion and wave action that have shaped its distinctive bight over millennia.
