Smoo Cave

Smoo Cave is located at the eastern edge of the village of Durness, on Scotland's most northerly coastline.  A trip to Smoo Cave has to be included in any stay in Durness. Set into limestone cliffs, Smoo Cave is quite large - 200 feet long, 130 feet wide, and 50 feet high at the entrance. Smoo is the largest and most dramatic coastline cave in Britain.

 

This spectacular site has a rich archeological history, an interesting geological formation and is abundant in wildlife. The cave is a great tourist attraction for people visiting the north-west coast, and is well worth a visit.
