| Description: | Looking south towards Hanni Geo from the Haven at the Clett, Bruan, 8 km. north-east of Lybster, Caithness. The stacks and geos, and the coast trend, are determined by small faults running parallel with the coastline. Thinly-bedded flaggy purple siltstones and sandstones forming the upper part of the Berriedale Sandstone Formation (Middle Devonian) dip away from camera at about 20 degrees. They are cut by a minor north-south trending fault and associated fractures. Marine erosion along these fractures has formed a narrow inlet. A small stack occurs at the mouth of the inlet. |
