Liana Bàn is a prominent coastal feature located in Inverness-shire, Scotland. Known for its stunning beauty and geological significance, it is a headland that extends into the North Atlantic Ocean. Situated on the western coast of Scotland, Liana Bàn offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, including lush green hills, rugged cliffs, and the vast expanse of the ocean.

The headland is characterized by its distinctive shape, jutting out into the sea with a pointed tip. This unique formation is a result of years of erosion caused by the powerful waves and currents of the North Atlantic. As a result, Liana Bàn features steep cliffs that provide nesting grounds for various seabirds, including puffins, guillemots, and gulls.

The coastal feature is also home to a diverse range of flora and fauna. The cliffs and surrounding grasslands offer habitat for various plant species, such as heather, gorse, and wildflowers. Marine life is abundant in the waters surrounding Liana Bàn, with seals often seen basking on the rocks and dolphins occasionally spotted swimming offshore.

Liana Bàn is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and photographers due to its unspoiled natural beauty. A network of walking trails offers visitors the opportunity to explore the headland and enjoy its stunning vistas. Additionally, the area is rich in historical and cultural heritage, with ancient ruins and archaeological sites nearby.

Overall, Liana Bàn is a captivating coastal feature that showcases the rugged beauty of the Scottish coastline. Its dramatic cliffs, diverse wildlife, and picturesque surroundings make it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking to immerse themselves in Scotland's natural wonders.

Old Lazybeds The parallel lines in this field are the remains of lazybeds. These are raised beds which are separated by ditches to assist in draining the land. They can be found all over the Hebrides, but few are still in regular cultivation.
