Long Gallery (The, S entrance)

Between Tremuda and Thornyhive Bays, Aberdeenshire, (Kincardineshire).

A through cave which may be entered from the N from Tremuda Bay and exits to SE in the middle of the E end of the headland between Tremuda and Thornyhive bays. It turns approx 42 degrees in a fairly steady curve, exiting due N. About 8-12m wide and 8-10m ACD high; fairly smooth walls and ceiling with striking white, green and black patchwork colours at N end. Not much used by birds near N entrance. Depths 30/8/18 8m at SE end, 4m in middle and 2m at N end - all BCD.

Alternative Names: None recorded.

Notes: Access: By sea only. Best in top ¾ of tide because of rocks at N end, and moderate swell.

The N entrance can be seen from the cliff path on Tremuda.
