Isle of Tiree - Basalt dyke eroded by sea, Geology

A 'soft' basalt dyke instrusion has been eroded away by the sea while the surrounding harder Lewisian rocks remain.

Tiree, the sunshine isle, is to be found off the west coast of Scotland and offers a unique experience. Miles of quiet beaches, opportunites for walking, traditional agriculture and the gentle pace of life make Tiree a great holiday destination. For details check out Tiree in the News page.
