What is recorded here
The Bight of Sandbister is a coastal bay on the Orkney Islands, characterized by erosion-resistant sandstone and basalt formations. These rocks date primarily from the Devonian and Carboniferous periods, formed through sedimentation and volcanic activity, and are notable for their role in shaping the distinctive coastal topography of Orkney.
