Wester Shoals

Headland

Why this matters

Wester Shoals is a coastal rock feature composed primarily of Old Red Sandstone, formed during the Devonian period around 400 million years ago through sedimentary processes. It is notable as part of the rugged coastline of the Orkney Islands, reflecting the region's geological history of ancient river and delta systems.
