| Description: | Shore north of Keiss Castle, looking south, Caithness. Sea cliffs of the postglacial raised beach, dressed with vegetation. Cliff exposures of subhorizontally bedded Mey Flagstone Formation (Caithness Flagstone Formation, Middle Devonian), broken by rare faults. Cliffs are not being actively eroded. They are at back of poorly-developed postglacial raised beach, here only 2 m. above sea level. This raised beach becomes lower northwards, and is at sea level in southern Orkney, and below sea level in northern Orkney and in Shetland. Keiss Castle in distance. |
