Yeah, as above. I've researched it and a lot of places came up. So does anyone know where Gneiss is mainly found
(Like a country e.g. America, UK, Australia)
And is there a landmark or something that is made of Gneiss?

It is a common rock and found throughout the world.
You will find it areas where there are mountains or there used to be mountains millions or hundreds of millions of years ago.
I live in New England and you can find it in every state in the Northeast.
Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont
New Hampshire, Connecticut,New York. (in the Adirondak mountains and Hudson Highlands.
You will not find it areas where there is mostly sedimentary rock like Ohio, Indiana.
If you pick a country or state it would be easier.
A report on Gneiss all over the world would be thousands of pages to write.

Gneiss is a metamorphic rock with a granitic chemical composition and a structural fabric. So where you would find it? In any of the worlds many mobile belts or in other words in any of the areas where there was relative movement along plate boundaries in the earths crust.
