Rubh' an Tuirc is a sea cliff or coastal rock feature located in the Na h-Eileanan Siar archipelago, likely composed of basaltic or gabbroic rock associated with the North Atlantic Igneous Province. It formed during the Paleogene period, approximately 60 to 55 million years ago, through volcanic activity linked to the opening of the North Atlantic Ocean, and is notable as part of the region’s extensive igneous geological heritage.
