What is recorded here
Sgairidh is a headland composed primarily of basaltic rock, formed during the Tertiary period through volcanic activity associated with the North Atlantic Igneous Province. Its resistant basalt contributes to its prominent coastal form and is notable for its role in shaping the rugged topography of the Western Isles.
