Torridonian Sandstone is a type of sedimentary rock that is primarily composed of sand-sized particles of quartz and feldspar. It has a red or pink colour and a gritty texture, and often contains pebbles and cobbles of other rock types.

It forms as a result of the accumulation of sediment in a terrestrial environment, such as a desert or riverbed. It is an important geological formation in the northwest of Scotland, where it is known for its unique appearance and geological significance.

Torridonian Sandstone contains evidence of some of the earliest land plants and animals, providing important insights into the evolution of life on Earth.
