One of the curious formations that appear following the cliffs of Duncansby. It is called The Knee, although from some angles its silhouette is much more reminiscent of a huge statue or an Egyptian bust looking out to sea.
It is a sea stack, a portion of the old cliff that for thousands of years the wind, waves and erosion separated from the mainland until it was completely isolated. It is worth looking for different perspectives as you walk along the path: its shape changes a lot depending on where you look at it from.
