Bogha Eilean nan Geodh is a prominent coastal feature located in Argyllshire, Scotland. Situated on the western coast of the country, it is a headland that extends out into the sea, forming a distinct point along the coastline.

The name "Bogha Eilean nan Geodh" translates to "the bow of the island of the geos," which accurately describes its shape and geographical characteristics. Geos are narrow, steep-sided inlets or coves often found along rocky coastlines, and this headland resembles a bow or curve, with several geos dotting its shoreline.

The headland is known for its rugged and picturesque landscape, with steep cliffs and rocky outcrops that provide a dramatic backdrop to the surrounding waters. Its elevated position offers stunning panoramic views of the Scottish coastline, making it a popular spot for sightseeing and photography.

Bogha Eilean nan Geodh is also notable for its rich biodiversity. The headland and its surrounding waters are home to a diverse range of marine and bird species. Seabirds such as puffins, guillemots, and razorbills can often be spotted nesting on the cliffs, while seals and dolphins are occasionally seen swimming in the waters below.

Access to Bogha Eilean nan Geodh is relatively straightforward, with a well-maintained footpath leading to the headland. Visitors can enjoy leisurely walks along the coastal trail, taking in the breathtaking scenery and immersing themselves in the natural beauty of this captivating coastal feature.
