Smoo Cave

Smoo Cave, which lies to the east of Durness, is a vast limestone cavern with three chambers. The first one (220ft/67m long and 120ft/37m high) is reminiscent of the nave of a Gothic church. Continuing erosion has opened up a number of holes in the roof and daylight has led to the growth of some unusual vegetation on the walls. The other two chambers are accessible only by boat.
