Rubha Phail

Headland

Why this matters

Rubha Phail is a sea cliff or coastal rock feature located in the Western Isles (Na h-Eileanan Siar), likely composed of metamorphic or igneous rock typical of the region's Lewisian Gneiss, which dates back to the Precambrian era (around 3 billion to 1.2 billion years ago). It is notable as part of the ancient and rugged coastline that defines much of Scotland’s northwest, shaped by tectonic activity and extensive glacial and marine erosion.
