Why this matters

Oitir Bheag is a coastal rock feature or sea cliff located within the Na h-Eileanan Siar archipelago, likely composed of Lewisian gneiss, some of the oldest rocks in the British Isles, dating back over 2.7 billion years. These rocks formed through high-grade metamorphism of ancient igneous and sedimentary rocks and are notable for their durability and role in shaping the rugged coastal landscape of the Western Isles.
