What is recorded here
The Great Face is a sea cliff composed primarily of Devonian sandstone, formed around 400 to 360 million years ago through sedimentary deposition in a shallow marine environment. It is notable for its striking vertical exposure, which provides valuable insights into the geological history of western Scotland.
