Bullers of Buchan Cave (E entrance)

A 'T' plan cave system on the south side of Bullers Pot. A fairly short tunnel going about N by E from the W entrance is joined about 3 m inside by an intertidal tunnel running NW by W from this sea (E) entrance.

Notes: The length is 25 m from the NGRs of the two entrances, plus an estimated 8 m for the north going tunnel. Other dimensions are visual estimates.

1st Ed OS 25 in shows 'cave' at the W entrance, with a tunnel indicated from this E entrance - rather more E/W than the actual NW/SE direction. Cave dot for this entrance on current OS (Canmore L9 & 10). Note that this map shows both usages of 'Bullers of Buchan' - one for the village; the other for the cliff south of The Pot.
Photo 1 context photo for this entrance, looking NW on 19/2/19 by N Feilden. The rift/joint leans about 22 degrees to the right (NE).
Photo 2 a rather out of focus photo of the entrance - zoomed. 19/2/19.
Photo 3 looking along the tunnel from close to this entrance. Light coming in from the left (S) could be seen by eye, but is not visible in this photo. 19/2/19. It looked a bit tight for a kayak, but would probably be swimmable.
