Dandi Geo
Muckle Roe is formed entirely of igneous rocks forming a pluton of Old Red Sandstone (Devonian) age, and all except the NE side are a Granophyre which forms dramatic red cliffs riven by geos, caves and natural arches. Dandi Geo is one of the narrower geos eroded from the west coast of the island just at the point where a small stream drains northwestwards from a series of small lochans. In the far distance, Esha Ness can be seen across St. Magnus Bay, itself a large basin possibly associated with an ancient meteorite impact.
