208. St. Baldred's Cave.
Within 100 yards of and 25 feet above the high water mark between the Gegan Rock and Seacliff, stands a rocky cliff, at the foot of which, facing east, is a cave, 23 feet broad and 15 feet high at the mouth, running in a westerly direction for a distance of 20 feet into the rock, the sides and roof gradually converging. In the mouth of the cave, slightly beyond the line of the rock, is a squat pear-shaped mass of rock, flat on the top and packed with large stones at the base, standing about 3 feet above the floor of the cave. It measures 5 feet in height, is 20 feet in girth at its widest part, and 5 feet 5 inches by 4 feet 6 inches across the top. (See Archaeologia Scotica, vol. iv.).
