Geodha Mhic Iomhair is a picturesque coastal feature located in Inverness-shire, Scotland. Situated on the western coast of the Scottish Highlands, this stunning headland juts out into the Atlantic Ocean, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

The headland is characterized by its rugged cliffs, which rise dramatically from the crashing waves below. These cliffs are composed of ancient rock formations, creating a unique geological landscape that attracts both geologists and nature enthusiasts alike.

Geodha Mhic Iomhair is known for its diverse wildlife, providing a habitat for numerous seabirds, including puffins, gannets, and fulmars. It is also a popular spot for birdwatchers, who flock to the area to observe these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.

The headland offers several walking trails, allowing visitors to explore its rugged beauty. The trails meander along the cliff tops, providing panoramic views of the ocean and the surrounding coastline.

Old building at Scadabhagh A drystone construction of partly dressed gneiss using a small cliff for support. I would think agricultural rather than residential, and probably relatively recent.
