Old Landslide?

This curious piece of topography beside the track down to the beach at Tolastadh bho Tuath caught my eye. I think it may be the remains of an old landslide, during which the land on the right slipped down towards the sea and rotated outwards, leaving a gap to landward. The grassy surfaces of both parts of it are criss-crossed by solifluction terraces, created by the effects of repeated freezing and thawing. Image] is the other side of the possible landslide from further down the track.
