Exposing Eiggs geology with its overlaid ancient lava flows

volcanic eruptions

Laig beach and singing sands

pure quartz sand grains emit a shrill squeak when underfoot,

​

layers of thick basaltic lava stresses produced dense swarms of dykes along Laig bay.

​

weathering erosion on basalt layers 

cooling lava patterned and terraced the landscape.

 waves of molten ice cream swirls of pinks, yellows, creams, vanilla whites in lava set.

cliff edge verges clinging  niches.
