Ruins of a building (a house built c. 1900), not a cave.
On this grassy clifftop, oddly spaced apart, stand the ruins of a tiny chapel and a house. They were built early in the 1900s by one John Nicolson. Born in nearby Ness, he had found a new evangelical faith in the US, as well as a wealthy wife, Nora Cushing. After his return to the island he became known as An Fiosaiche (or 'Ain Fiosaich), The Seer. In the chapel, Edgemoor Hall, he conducted services for the folks of the airidhean, with Nora accompanying the hymns on the harmonium. [Lodewijk Muns]
Alternative Names: None recorded.
Notes: The coordinates in this reference were previously confused with Uamh a' Ghobha [NB 56010 57579, See entry 6926].
