Geodha Tiarsburay is a prominent coastal feature located in Ross-shire, Scotland. It is classified as a headland or a point, jutting out into the North Sea. The name Geodha Tiarsburay is derived from the Gaelic language, with "geodha" meaning "cove" or "inlet," and "tiarsburay" referring to the specific location.

This coastal feature is characterized by its rugged and rocky terrain, with steep cliffs that provide breathtaking views of the surrounding sea. The headland is made up of layers of sedimentary rocks, showcasing the geological history of the area. These rock formations have been shaped by the relentless forces of erosion, resulting in striking coastal features such as sea stacks and arches.

Geodha Tiarsburay is known for its diverse wildlife, making it a popular spot for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers. The surrounding waters are home to a variety of marine life, including seals, dolphins, and a wide range of seabirds. Visitors may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of puffins, guillemots, or even the majestic white-tailed eagle.

Access to Geodha Tiarsburay is relatively easy, with a well-maintained coastal path leading to the headland. The path provides stunning views of the coastline and opportunities to explore the unique geology and flora of the area. It is important to exercise caution when visiting, as the cliffs can be steep and unstable in some areas.

Overall, Geodha Tiarsburay is a beautiful coastal feature that offers a combination of stunning natural scenery, geological wonders, and abundant wildlife. It is a must-visit destination for those seeking a true Scottish coastal experience.
