What is recorded here
Rubha Ghill is shown as a headland on the public map of Na h-Eileanan Siar. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Rubha Ghill 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 North Atlantic Igneous Province. It is notable for its columnar jointing, a characteristic feature of rapidly cooled lava flows, and for contributing to the dramatic coastal scenery of the Western Isles.
