Have visited the cave on several occasions, even overnighting once when cut off by the tide. (outside, that is! -protected site!)
There's a real feeling of "otherworldliness" when at the site at dawn or dusk, and its a real honour to be at one with the spirits of the past.
Although the carvings are quite difficult to find, and are very basic compared to other pictish carvings, it is very thought provoking to imagine that crescent and v rod symbols were common to people then, what DID they mean or represent?!
It's a pity the floor of the cave has been covered over with modern gravel. It would have been good to see the original surface to ascertain the size and shape of the pool that was within.
Perhaps it's a good thing the cave is so inaccessable. I assume it deters vandals and "cave partyers".
Well worth a visit. It seems like a place where there remains to be future discoveries made, what with all the nooks, crannies & vents still left to explore.
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
