Why this matters

Mell Head is a sea cliff or coastal rock feature located in the Highland area of Scotland. It is composed primarily of basalt, formed during volcanic activity in the Paleogene period, around 60 to 55 million years ago, and is notable as part of the region's extensive igneous landscape linked to the North Atlantic volcanic province.

What is recorded here

Mell Head 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.
