Ageing isn’t a process which is kind to humans and either is it kind to landscapes and coastlines. Strictly speaking it isn’t weathering which has given this rock it’s aged look but the way it cooled with it first formed. The rock type is Basalt, similar to the Giants Causeway in Northern Ireland.
The stretch of coastline between Flodigarry and Balmacqueen in NE Skye is littered with caves and stunning sea cliffs carved out of basalt rock making it a classly piece of coastline for the discerning sea kayaker.
The discerning sea kayaker. I like that.
