What is recorded here
Rubha Laileum is a basaltic sea cliff or coastal rock feature formed during the Tertiary period, approximately 60 to 55 million years ago, as part of the North Atlantic volcanic province. It is notable for its association with the widespread basaltic lava flows that characterize much of the Scottish Northwest, including the Hebrides.
