Murchadh Breac

Named rock

Why this matters

Murchadh Breac is a coastal rock feature likely composed of metamorphic or igneous rock, typical of the Lewisian Gneiss complex in the Scottish Highlands, which dates back to the Precambrian, over 2.5 billion years old. Its notable age and potential role in the region’s ancient geological history make it a significant, though locally named, feature.
