Tunnel.
Described in a passage from S. Murray (1799):
"There is a small remain of a curious subterranean passage from the former inhabited part of Castle Campbell, cut in the rock down to the burn; from which the inhabitants could get water in safety, and unseen by their enemies from the heights of the surrounding mountains, when they were besieged". [In: Laughlan, 1982]
Alternative Names: None recorded.
Notes: This reputed site was mistakenly considered to be located at 'Graham Castle' near Auchterarder in T. Oldham's Caves of Scotland, rather than Castle Campbell. See entry for 'Graham Castle Cave' [2343] for details.
