Creag Glas

Cliff

What is recorded here

Creag Glas is shown as a cliff on the public map of Highland. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Creag Glas is a sea cliff composed primarily of basalt, formed during the Paleogene period through volcanic activity associated with the North Atlantic Igneous Province. It is notable for its resistant columnar jointing, a result of ancient lava flows cooling and contracting, and for its coastal exposure that highlights the region's volcanic geological history.
