The northwest coast of Scotland is an incredibly geologically diverse stretch of coastline.
In less than 150 kilometers the rocks span over 2.8 billion years of Earth history, from the Archaean Lewisian gneiss to the Tertiary volcanic province on Skye with little missing in between. Such a wide temporal spread means that any particular age of rocks is restricted to a relatively small area. This is especially the case with one particular formation found along the Stoer Coast north of Ullapool. This formation, named after the peninsula on which it is found, is a Mesoproterozoic sedimentary sequence composed primarily of sandstones and mudstones. The Stoer Formation is a sedimentologist's dream land. However the highlight of the Stoer Formation is the Stac Fada member. Although initial investigators assumed this to be volcanic in origin it was bizzare in context of the surrounding geology.
