by Torr Head.

A ridge of Dalradian rocks stretches from Torr Head to the southwest and is overlain by limestone from the Argyll group.

History

thumbThe name of the headland is probably derived from the Celtic word "tor" for a rocky height.

Torr Head was the site of the hill fort (cashel) of Dún Bharraigh, which according to legend was the residence of Barach the Great, known from the legend of Deirdre of the Sorrows.
