Mànais

Headland

Why this matters

Mànais is a sea cliff or coastal rock feature located in the Western Isles (Na h-Eileanan Siar), composed primarily of Lewisian gneiss, some of the oldest rocks in the British Isles, dating back over 2.7 billion years. These metamorphic rocks formed through high-pressure and high-temperature deformation of ancient igneous and sedimentary rocks, and the area is notable for its geological significance and contribution to understanding early Earth crustal development.

What is recorded here

Mànais is shown as a headland on the public map of Na h-Eileanan Siar. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
