Dunscaby Head

Duncansby Head is the most north-easterly part of the Scottish mainland. The headland juts into the North Sea, with the Pentland Firth to its north and west and the Moray Firth to its south. The Dunscaby Head lighthouse stands on the tip of the headland. The lighthouse, which was built in 1924 and automated in 1997, is unusual in that its lantern tower is square rather than the more traditional round design.

Geo of Sclaites, a deep cleft in the cliffs

Near Duncansby Head, this cleft has been cut by the sea as the tide rushes into it compressing air in rocky gaps via waves squeezing air splitting the rock. This is aided by boulders and pebbles also eroding the cleft as they are smashed into the cliff by incoming waves.
