Geodha Carnach is a captivating coastal feature located in Ross-shire, Scotland. Situated on the northwestern coast of the country, this remarkable headland juts out into the wild and rugged North Atlantic Ocean. Geodha Carnach is specifically classified as a point, as it marks the end of a narrow strip of land that extends into the sea.
