It is more than 70ft [feet] in circumference and about 10 ft [feet] in height. All around the Cave there are smaller vaults, resembling cellars, and from one part of it a narrow passage leads to a small apartment not unlike a sleeping chamber. This cave is remarkable for having been the sanctuary of one of the lairds of Ardkinglass; who according to tradition of the country, having been defeated & oppressed by some powerful neighbour, was obliged to conceal himself, and a few followers in this cave for a whole year, during which his retreat was not discovered by the enemy. It is called from this incident Uamh Mhic Iain Reoich - "Hoi Iain Reoich", "The Son of Swarthy John"; the patronymic name of the family of Ardkinglass. |

Ordnance Survey - Argyll county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Argyll, which is in the west of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
