Lewisian Gneiss & Sea Thrift, Tràigh Allt Chailgeag

This beautiful little beach, which lies on the north coast just to the west of Loch Eriboll, features some exceptionally impressive formations of Lewisian Gneiss at its centre and western end. Here I was delighted to find that this small shelf had been colonised by flowering sea pinks, adding a lovely touch of delicacy and colour.
