| Description: | Entrance to Smoo Cave, Durness, Sutherland. Exit of underground river and sea cliff of Durness (Cambrian) Limestone. Smoo Cave is also known as Uamh Smowe, Great Smoo and MacAllister's Cave. The vast entrance to the cave, 100 feet wide and 50 feet high is situated at the head of an inlet, one mile east of Durness. The floor of the main chamber is only a few feet above the normal high tide mark. The cave is about 250 feet long and has a vertical range of 80 feet - the Allt Smoo sinks down a 70 foot deep pothole and appears on the western side of the main entrance. |
