Through and Through Cave (East) [Rosemarkie]

Rosemarkie, Black Isle, Ross and Cromarty.

Pleasant, dry cave with a walkable tunnel through the headland. Entrances somewhat hidden behind trees. Completely dark inside cave passage. [The Rosemarkie Cave Project]

At over 40 metres, this is the longest cave and has 2 entrances which are each side of a headland, making the cave a tunnel. The tunnel starts at the south entrance and continues almost due north for 40m, between 24 and 32 metres is the Graffiti Chamber, where there is another entrance, facing east. There are a number of graffiti signatures and dates on the walls, most about 100 years old. The floor at the southern end is sand down to about 5cm, the Graffiti Chamber and the northern passage is rocky. [Bob & Rosemarie Jones]
