 Event organised by Highland Council Countryside Rangers:

Hear about the legends and history of this Skye cave - in Gaelic, Slochd Altrumain - the Nursling Cave. The cave featured in the work of Walter Scott who famously bypassed the locked gate then blocking off the cave entrance "by the assistance of a rope and some ancient acquaintance with orchard breaking". That barrier is long gone now but we still need to ensure we visit at low tide! If time allows, we may visit the nearby promontory fort, Dun Grugaig as well.
