What is recorded here
Maol Eskernis is shown as a headland on the public map of Highland. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Maol Eskernis is a coastal headland composed primarily of Lewisian gneiss, some of the oldest rocks in Scotland, dating back approximately 2.7 to 3 billion years. These metamorphic rocks formed deep within the Earth's crust through intense heat and pressure, and were later exposed by erosion, making the headland notable for its ancient geological heritage.
