What is recorded here

Rubh' an t-Sailleir 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.
Rubh' an t-Sailleir is a headland composed primarily of basalt, formed during the Palaeogene period (approximately 60–55 million years ago) as part of the North Atlantic volcanic province. It is notable for its association with the broader geological activity linked to the opening of the North Atlantic Ocean and the formation of the Scottish Highlands' volcanic and intrusive rock formations.
