Long Kin North

Possibly NG 58266 38783 to NG 58244 38764 based on comparison of aerial photographs and map of Loch Mna fissuiress from Salvona, 2009, p. 19.

Long Kin is one of a small group of fissures forming a rough 'K' when seen from above. Trackside pot forms the backbone of the 'K' with Long Kin forming the upper arm. Trackside Pot or Fissure Cave is at the centre/junction of the 'K'. The lower arm of the 'K' is formed by a shallower un-named cleft. Devil's Breath is just to the southeast roughly parallel to the lower arm of the 'K'.
