A named place photographed at this map point in Na h-Eileanan Siar.
Cliff and peat cutting on South Harris consists of raised beach deposits and glacial till, formed during the last Ice Age, around 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. The area is notable for its well-preserved coastal geomorphology and peat layers that provide insights into post-glacial environmental change in the Outer Hebrides.
