Continued entries/extra info
Wallace's Cave (continued)
The Rock in which the cave is stands about 50 feet high above the Calder, immediately south or below "Cleland House". The "Cave" , well known throughout Bothwell Parish as "Wallace's Cave", stands about 10 feet from the top of the rock & from the ledge or flat standing ground of the "Cave" like covering of it is about 12 feet in height. There are some remains of a chimney cut in the rock, & some holes cut on the flat ledge, or standing places, as if for posts to stand in. It does not present much of the appearance of a cave now, but it is said, that the rock has fallen from the top or roof, and also from the ledge or flooring. The latter has considerably given way within the memory of the Factor & Gamekeeper. "Wallace's Cave" is not now a cave being merely a projecting ledge of rock not capable of standing room for more than a dozen persons. It is difficult to get at. At Orbiston XII-9 Trace 6. there is another "Wallace's Cave" and both are generally known in the Parish as names.
