Geo of Lang-tae is a prominent coastal feature located in the Shetland Islands, an archipelago in Scotland, United Kingdom. This natural formation is specifically categorized as a headland or point due to its unique geographical characteristics.

Situated on the east coast of the mainland, Geo of Lang-tae is known for its stunning cliffs that rise dramatically above the North Sea. These cliffs are predominantly composed of sedimentary rock formations, showcasing layers of shale and sandstone that have been eroded over centuries by the relentless force of the ocean waves. The result is a rugged and picturesque landscape that attracts visitors from near and far.

At the top of the cliffs, there is a grassy plateau, offering panoramic views of the surrounding coastline and the vast expanse of the sea. This vantage point is a popular spot for hikers and nature enthusiasts who wish to appreciate the unspoiled beauty of the Shetland Islands.

The Geo of Lang-tae is also home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, with seabirds nesting along the cliffs and seals often seen basking on the rocks below. The surrounding waters are teeming with marine life, including various species of fish and crustaceans.

Due to its exposed location and the powerful waves crashing against its base, caution is advised when exploring the Geo of Lang-tae. Visitors are urged to stay away from the cliff edges and to be aware of changing tide conditions.

In summary, Geo of Lang-tae is a breathtaking headland or point on the east coast of the Shetland Islands. Its towering cliffs, stunning views, and abundant wildlife make it a must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventurers alike.
