Lennans [Overview]

Rinns of Galloway, Port Logan, South Lennans, Wigtownshire.

Generic, refers to a group of sea caves between North and South Lennans.

Alternative Names: Lennans (Caves of the), Lennans (Coves of the)

Notes: The Lennans demonstrate competent strata that are steeply tilted, but flat. Complete beds have simply spalled away to leave clean bedding surfaces, and gaps between the flat slabs give rise to the caves marked on the map, but not visible from above. [Geograph]

The delicate Lennans Waterfall poured straight over more stratified rocks, which had been folded to almost ninety degrees from their original horizontal alignment. At the foot of the waterfall there is yet another cave. [seakayakphoto].
