Why this matters

Easter Head is a sea cliff or coastal rock feature composed primarily of basalt, formed during the Paleogene period through volcanic activity associated with the North Atlantic Igneous Province. It is notable for its role in the geological landscape of the Scottish Highlands and as a remnant of extensive ancient lava flows.

What is recorded here

Easter Head is shown as a headland on the public map of Highland. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
