Natural Arch. The Crusie or 'oil lamp' is a blow hole in the side of the inlet that the OS mark as the Crusie but the word makes it clear that it should refer the conspicuous blow hole high on the west side of the inlet leading to The Crusie E Cave, which takes water from the inlet to the west in stormy weather; from S to SSW particularly.
Alternative Names: The Cruzie, Arbroath Cave [10]
Notes: NGR from Iain Greig 18/8/20.
See also The Crusie [S] which has a photo of the arch/blowhole from below.
