Sloc Ceann a' Ghàrraidh

Bay

Why this matters

Sloc Ceann a' Ghàrraidh is a coastal rock feature located in the Outer Hebrides, likely composed of Lewisian gneiss, one of the oldest rock formations in the UK, dating back over 2.7 billion years. These metamorphic rocks formed deep within the Earth's crust through intense heat and pressure, and are notable for their durability and role in the geological history of the Scottish Highlands.
