Below Dùn nan Gall are two more caves and I haven't quite worked out which stories and which names go with which. Uamh a' Ruith, or Uamh an Fhir Dhuibh, the cave of the black man or devil, is at the base of an inaccessible cliff. Hector Cameron's guide book states "there is no access to it except by means of a rope" which looks pretty accurate to me! [Tireeplacenames]
Alternative Names: Fhir Dhuibh, Black Man (Cave of the), Devil (Cave of the)
