| Slochd a Leum (Contd [Continued] | 234 | [continued from page 108] On the farm of Leim at the S.W. [South West] end of Gigha there is a subterraneous passage 133 ft. [feet] long into which the sea flows. About the middle of it there is an aperture 8 feet long and 2 broad, and near the end there is another 20 feet long and 4 broad. A storm from the west causes the sea to rush in with such violence as to discharge itself with a thundering noise. Hence it's name, "Sloc an leim", the squirting cave or literally the jumping or springing pit. It gives it's name to the farm on which it is. Old Statl. [Statistical] Account |
