Sea cave at the base of cliffs west of Lagnagatchie and east of Carrickcorie.

Alternative Names: Carrickcorie Cave [2]

Notes: Cave marked on the OS map (Lagnagatchie Cave [1]) is not the same as indicated in the Alamy Stock photograph (Lagnagatchie Cave [2]). Caption implies but does not state that the dark area in the photo is a cave. The walker is above Lagnagatchie Cave [1] but it is in a recess in the cliff and cannot be seen in this photo. The dark patch (perhaps Lagnagatchie Cave [2]) may simply be a shadowed area..
