Càrn a' Ghiomaich

Headland

What is recorded here

Càrn a' Ghiomaich 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.
Càrn a' Ghiomaich is a sea cliff or coastal rock feature composed of metamorphic rocks, likely of Precambrian to early Paleozoic age. These rocks were formed through high-pressure and high-temperature deformation of older sedimentary or igneous rocks, typical of the Scottish Caledonian orogenic belt, and the headland is notable for its resilience to coastal erosion and its role in defining the rugged Highland coastline.
