What is recorded here
Àird nan Laogh is shown as a headland on the public map of Na h-Eileanan Siar. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Àird nan Laogh is a sea cliff or coastal rock feature located in the Na h-Eileanan Siar archipelago, composed primarily of metamorphic rocks such as schist or gneiss, likely dating to the Neoproterozoic or early Paleozoic era. These rocks formed through high-pressure and high-temperature regional metamorphism associated with ancient mountain-building events, and the headland is notable for its rugged coastal topography and potential geological significance within the Scottish Caledonides.
