What is recorded here
Rubha Dubh is shown as a headland on the public map of Argyll and Bute. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Rubha Dubh is a basaltic sea cliff or headland 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 resistant basalt rock, which has withstood coastal erosion, and may represent part of a larger igneous complex in the region.
