Pine Wall

Cliff

What is recorded here

Pine Wall is a sea cliff composed primarily of basalt, formed during the Paleogene period through volcanic activity associated with the North Atlantic Igneous Province. Its notable columnar jointing and coastal exposure make it a distinctive example of ancient lava flow formations in the Scottish Highlands.
