Cave

Alternative Names: Black Hole of the Goat

Notes: Along the Carradale Water lies the old house of Rhonadale, once inhabited by a certain MacMillan who apparently met his death by falling into the mysterious Black Pit of The Goat, near Sroin na Seana Chair (Sron na Sean Mhathaire?) on Cnoc na Gobhar, north of Carradale. Since then uneasy rumblings and quiverings of the earth are said to precede the death of any MacMillan of Glen Carradale. Sloc na Gobhar is also believed to be linked by subterranean passage to a tidal well at Torrisdale.
