Greenie Geo is a prominent coastal feature located in Caithness, Scotland. It is a headland that juts out into the North Sea, forming a distinct point on the coastline. The name "Greenie Geo" is derived from the Scottish term "geo," which refers to a narrow, steep-sided inlet or cove.
This headland is characterized by its rugged and dramatic cliffs, which rise up to impressive heights above the sea. The cliffs are composed of sandstone and shale, displaying layers of sedimentary rock that have been shaped over millions of years by natural forces such as erosion and weathering.
Greenie Geo offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding coastal landscape. From this vantage point, visitors can observe the vast expanse of the North Sea and the rocky coastline stretching out in both directions. The headland is also known for its diverse wildlife, including seabirds such as puffins, razorbills, and fulmars, which nest on the cliffs.
Access to Greenie Geo is relatively easy, with a well-maintained footpath leading to the headland. However, caution is advised as the cliffs can be dangerous, especially during inclement weather or high tides. Visitors are advised to stay on designated paths and avoid getting too close to the cliff edges.
