Caird's Cave, Rosemarkie NH 744 594 NH75NW 5
This cave is situated by the shore of the Moray Firth 1.7km NNE of Rosemarkie. It measures about 4m in height by 10m in width at the entrance and extends for a distance of 9m; a shell-mound and what are probably the remains of an animal-pen of no great age lie in front of it. In 1912 excavations produced numerous artefacts of stone, antler and bone (NMAS HM 234-77), including a post-Roman ball-head pin inset with amber.
