Guarsaigh Mòr

Headland

Why this matters

Guarsaigh Mòr is a sea cliff or coastal rock feature located in the Na h-Eileanan Siar archipelago, likely composed of metamorphic or igneous rock typical of the region’s Lewisian Gneiss, which dates back to the Precambrian era (over 2.5 billion years old). Its formation is linked to ancient tectonic processes and subsequent coastal erosion, making it a notable example of the geological history of the Scottish Inner Hebrides.
