Rubha nam Braithre

Headland

What is recorded here

Rubha nam Braithre is a headland composed primarily of basalt, formed during the Paleogene period through volcanic activity associated with the North Atlantic Igneous Province. It is notable for its columnar jointing, a result of the rapid cooling of lava flows, and its role as a coastal landmark in the Scottish Highlands.
