What is recorded here
Rubha an Uisge is a headland composed primarily of basaltic rock, formed during the Paleogene period through volcanic activity associated with the North Atlantic Igneous Province. It is notable for its dramatic coastal exposure and potential links to the broader geological history of northwest Scotland.
