Creag Ruadh Tamna Sear is a prominent coastal feature located in Ross-shire, Scotland. It is classified as a headland or point due to its elongated shape that juts out into the sea. The name Creag Ruadh Tamna Sear translates to "red rock of the east Tamna" in Gaelic, which is a nod to the reddish hue of the rock formations found in the area.

Situated along the picturesque coastline, Creag Ruadh Tamna Sear offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and the North Sea. The headland is characterized by steep cliffs that rise dramatically from the water, adding to its grandeur and beauty. These cliffs are made up of sedimentary rocks, such as sandstone and limestone, which have been shaped by erosion over millions of years.
