Raised beach sea cave recorded by Graham Little.
This cave lies 32 m south of the Geal Uisge burn at the foot of a smooth vertical rock face. From the entrance, it narrows slightly then opens into a 5 m x 5 m, roughly circular, chamber with good head height. The floor is carpeted with liverwort.
Alternative Names: None recorded.
Notes: Access tricky, down ridge north of Geal Uisge.
Geal Uisge means "White Water" with water here referring to the stream (not white water i.e. rapids) so White Water burn might be a tautology.
Hydrographic Feeds: None
Hydrographic Resurgences: None
