Creag na h-Iolaire is a sea cliff located in the Highland region of Scotland, composed primarily of basaltic rock formed during the Paleogene period, around 60 to 55 million years ago. It is notable for its association with volcanic activity linked to the opening of the North Atlantic and may exhibit columnar jointing typical of rapidly cooled lava flows.
