Rubh' an t-Seana Bhaile

Rubh' an t-Seana Bhaile 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-Seana Bhaile is a basaltic sea cliff formed during the Paleogene period, approximately 60 to 55 million years ago, as a result of volcanic activity associated with the opening of the North Atlantic. It is notable for its columnar jointing, a characteristic feature of rapidly cooled lava flows, and its contribution to the dramatic coastal scenery of the Scottish Highlands.
