From the Wikipedia article
The Lairg gravity low is a possible impact crater in Scotland about 40 kilometres in diameter, with a centre near the town of Lairg in the Scottish Highlands. Its identity as an impact crater is suspected due to the impact deposits present in the Stac Fada Member 50 km to the west. However, this has been disputed, with other studies suggesting that an impact in The Minch is more likely.
