Rubha nam Fiadh

Headland

What is recorded here

Rubha nam Fiadh 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 nam Fiadh is a basaltic sea cliff formed during the Tertiary 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 and coastal erosion features, typical of ancient lava flows in the Western Isles.
