It's likely they're in the isle of wight although there probably isnt much difference between them all. The name isle is given because of the coast, hence they have cliffs where they slowly erode. also its slightly harder to tell as all rocks are weathered differently. also i went on a school trip years and years ago and apparently isle of wight has the oldest rocks. to get a more accurate answer you'd need to talk to a professional.
Isle of lewis has it  with Lewisean Gneiss
