Generic reference to the five dolostone sea caves of the Creag Ruadh at Leirinmore (not to be confused with the cliffs of the same name at Sango Bay)

Dry on-foot access can only be achieved by coasteering along the base of the cliffs from the Sangobeg side during v.low tide. This is due to the deep/wide flooded geo at Toll-ard that requires swimming to cross. The mouth of the Geodh' a' Chuingleum can be crossed by way of an exposed 'bad step', although some shallow wading may realistically be required to reach this from Ulavack Cave.

Alternative Names: None recorded.

Notes: No caves at this specific location.
