Geodh' Chàise is a striking coastal feature located in Sutherland, Scotland. Also known as "Chaise Bay" or "Point of the Chair," it is a captivating headland situated along the northern coast of Scotland. Geodh' Chàise is characterized by its rugged cliffs, jutting out into the North Atlantic Ocean, and offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

The headland is composed of ancient rocks, predominantly formed from Torridonian sandstone, which have been shaped over millions of years by the relentless forces of nature. These cliffs stand tall, reaching heights of approximately 30 meters (98 feet), with their layered formations showcasing the geological history of the region.

Geodh' Chàise's location on the coast makes it an ideal spot for birdwatching, as it is a nesting site for various seabirds, including fulmars, kittiwakes, and guillemots. Visitors can observe these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat, soaring through the air or perched on the cliff edges.

The headland is also a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts, with several walking trails leading to and around Geodh' Chàise. These trails provide an opportunity to explore the diverse flora and fauna of the area while taking in the awe-inspiring coastal scenery.

Geodh' Chàise is a hidden gem along Scotland's northern coast, offering visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the raw beauty of the landscape and witness the dynamic forces that have shaped it over time.
