Sandwood Bay
The cliffs at the south end of the bay, and the sea stack Am Buachaille, meaning 'the Herdsman', are of Torridonian sandstone. The foreground rocks here are Lewisian gneiss, so there is a change of rock type, and an age difference of more than a thousand million years, between the foreground and background in this view.
