What is recorded here
Rubha Hunish is a basaltic headland formed during the Paleogene period, approximately 60 to 55 million years ago, as part of the North Atlantic Igneous Province. It is notable for its columnar jointing and association with the geological activity linked to the opening of the North Atlantic Ocean.
