Mol Garbh

Headland

What is recorded here

Mol Garbh is a sea cliff or coastal rock feature located within the Na h-Eileanan Siar archipelago, 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 in understanding the early crustal evolution of northwest Scotland.
