Tòrr Usinish

Headland

What is recorded here

Tòrr Usinish is shown as a headland on the public map of Na h-Eileanan Siar. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Tòrr Usinish is a sea cliff or coastal rock feature located in the Na h-Eileanan Siar archipelago, composed primarily of metamorphic rocks such as schist or gneiss, likely dating to the Neoproterozoic or early Paleozoic era. These rocks formed under high pressure and temperature during ancient tectonic activity, and the headland is notable for its exposure of ancient Lewisian or Dalradian geological formations, which are significant in the geological history of the Scottish Highlands.
