Quirang

Cliff

What is recorded here

Quirang is shown as a cliff on the public map of Highland. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Quirang is a sea cliff composed primarily of Lewisian gneiss, some of the oldest rocks in Scotland, dating back approximately 2.7 to 3 billion years. These metamorphic rocks formed deep within the Earth's crust through intense heat and pressure, and were later exposed by erosion and tectonic activity, making the cliff notable for its ancient geological history.
