More information:

Exposed eroded rock wall dyke of igneous basalt intrusion, Rubha an Dunain, Isle of Skye, Scotland, UK. This rock wall was formed by a seam of molten rock pushing up through cracks in the surrounding rock and then solidifying. The surrounding rock has then been eroded away to leave a raised wall of rock.
