What is recorded here
Black Island is shown as a named rock on the public map of Highland. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Black Island is a coastal rock feature composed primarily of basalt, formed during the Paleogene period through volcanic activity associated with the North Atlantic Igneous Province. It is notable for its dark, columnar basalt formations, typical of ancient lava flows that shaped much of the Scottish Highlands’ coastline.
