| Description: | Old Man of Stoer. Sutherland. South face of a sea stack showing jointing and bedding structures in Torridonian sandstone. The stack was once joined to the headland. Due to wave erosion following lines of weakness, the joints and bedding, caves would form either side of the headland, these would then join to form an arch. With subsequent collapse of the arch the stack would become isolated as in the photograph. |
