What is recorded here
Oyce of Herston is a sea cliff or coastal rock feature on the Orkney Islands, composed primarily of Old Red Sandstone, formed during the Devonian period around 400 to 360 million years ago. It is notable for its erosion-resistant sandstone formations, which have been shaped by marine processes and contribute to the dramatic coastal scenery of the area.
