Description
Bow Fiddle Rock is a distinctive rock arch at Portknockie on the Moray Firth. The rocks that originally comprised this stretch of coast were limestone and sandstone, however when the nearby Grampian Mountains were formed these sedimentary rocks were metamorphosed into quartzite and schist. It is the remaining quartzite that forms the arch, as the schist that once occupied the hollow space has long since worn away.
