Geodha Beag is a coastal feature located in Inverness-shire, Scotland. It is specifically classified as a headland or point due to its prominent projection into the sea. Situated on the western coast of Scotland, Geodha Beag offers breathtaking views of the North Atlantic Ocean.

The headland is characterized by its rugged terrain, with steep cliffs that drop dramatically into the sea. These cliffs, made of weathered rocks and sedimentary formations, provide a nesting ground for various seabirds, including puffins, guillemots, and fulmars. The area is also home to a diverse range of marine life, such as seals, dolphins, and even occasional sightings of whales.

Geodha Beag's location on the coast makes it an ideal spot for coastal walks and exploration. Visitors can enjoy the stunning vistas of the surrounding landscape, as well as the soothing sound of the crashing waves. The headland is also a perfect vantage point for observing the sunset, which paints the sky with vibrant colors.

Access to Geodha Beag is relatively easy, with a well-maintained footpath that leads to the headland. However, caution is advised when approaching the cliff edges, as they can be unstable. The area is also known for its unpredictable weather conditions, so visitors should come prepared with appropriate clothing and footwear.

Geodha Beag is a haven for nature enthusiasts and those seeking tranquility amidst the raw beauty of the Scottish coastline. Its stunning landscapes, diverse wildlife, and mesmerizing views make it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Inverness-shire.

Whit you lookin it? Says the cow whose mate had blocked the road and only decided to let us past after I gave him a hard stare.  This one was really just scratching an itchy spot on his back and not trying to pick a fight at all.

Is it real? What an amazing pastime is Geographing!  How else would you be able to spot and photograph a shot like this, unless you were heading to grab a Geograph in remote myriad NA?  This is of course a passing place - but the cow has completely misread the sign.
