What is recorded here
Rubha Shamhnan Insir is a headland composed primarily of basaltic rock, formed during the Paleogene period through volcanic activity associated with the North Atlantic Igneous Province. It is notable for its resistant columnar jointing, a common feature of ancient lava flows in the Scottish Highlands.
