Robin Cave

Covesea, Lossiemouth, parish of Drainie, Moray, (Elginshire).

A small seacave whose entrance is partly filled by gravel beach. It is 7.6m wide at the entrance. The floor slopes slightly down. The naturally sculpted walls are clearly similar to those nearby intertidal seacaves. On 20 Jan 20, there was a robin inside the cave, who clearly regarded it as its own territory - hence the name. There are ferns in cracks in the walls.

Alternative Names: None recorded.

Notes: Access: by sea, from Hopeman or Lossiemouth

By land - as for Sculptor's Cave. Best attempted an hour before low tide - as it is easy to get trapped by the rising tide.
