Port an Lóin Leith

Bay

What is recorded here

Port an Lóin Leith is shown as a bay on the public map of Highland. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Port an Lóin Leith is a coastal rock feature composed of basalt, formed during the Paleogene period through volcanic activity associated with the North Atlantic Igneous Province. It is notable for its columnar jointing, a result of the rapid cooling of lava flows, and contributes to the dramatic sea cliff landscapes characteristic of the Scottish Highlands.
