Faill a' Tónacáin

Faill - Cliff a' - (of) the Tónacáin - Moving on one’s bottom Name probably comes from the art of collection eggs from sea bird nests

Faill a' Tónacáin is a sea cliff located along the Scottish coast, likely composed of basalt or other volcanic rock typical of the region, formed during the Paleogene period around 60 to 55 million years ago. The cliff is notable for its historical association with the collection of sea bird eggs, as suggested by its name, which references the practice of moving on one's bottom to reach nests.
