Archibald McMillan William McCallum James Wotherspoon Old Stat [Statistical] Account |
234 | "The Big Cavern" is situated about the middle of the island of Gigha on the western seashore. The greater part of the top would appear to have sunk and there is a deep rough hollow from the part which is yet perfect, to the sea. The tide has apparently washed into the Cavern at one time but has evidently sunk leaving the base of the Cave dry. The shore both to the north and south of it is extremely rough and the access to the Cave that way very difficult. See other side for Stat Act [Statistical Account] [continued on page 65] |
