What is recorded here
Waternish Point is a sea cliff composed primarily of basalt, formed during the Paleogene period through volcanic activity associated with the North Atlantic Igneous Province. It is notable as part of the dramatic coastal landscape of the Scottish mainland, shaped by both ancient lava flows and subsequent marine erosion.
