What is recorded here
Cailleach Head is shown as a headland on the public map of Highland. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Cailleach Head is a sea cliff or 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 association with the broader geological history of the Scottish Highlands and possible cultural or mythological significance linked to the Gaelic goddess the Cailleach.
