| Description: | Mouth of Allt Bun an Eas, south of Loch Tarbert, west coast of Jura, Argyllshire. Sub-horizontal sheet or sill of basalt (I) following bedding of quartzite (II), and forming the roof of the sea cave in centre ground. The cave and cliff are thought to relate to the period of the 7.6 m. (25 ft.) raised beach. Abandoned sea caves and sea stacks abound on the coast of Scotland and relate to periods of higher sea level in the past, principally a consequence of the several glacial periods experienced by Scotland (and indeed the whole northern hemisphere) over the last 100,000+ years. |
