Geodh' an Tobair is a prominent coastal feature located in Ross-shire, Scotland. It is a stunning headland that juts out into the North Sea, offering breathtaking views and natural beauty. The name Geodh' an Tobair translates to "cove of the well" in English, referring to a small freshwater spring found within the area.

This headland is characterized by its rugged cliffs, which provide a dramatic backdrop against the crashing waves of the sea. The cliffs are formed from layers of sedimentary rock, showcasing the geological history of the region. They are also home to a variety of seabirds, including gannets, puffins, and guillemots, making it a popular spot for birdwatching enthusiasts.

Access to Geodh' an Tobair is relatively easy, with a designated footpath leading to the headland. Visitors can enjoy cliff-top walks, exploring the rock pools, or simply soaking in the tranquility of the surroundings. The headland is also a great spot for whale and dolphin watching, as these majestic creatures often pass through the nearby waters.

Overall, Geodh' an Tobair is a must-visit destination for those seeking natural beauty, wildlife encounters, and a peaceful coastal experience.
