(NR 8980 8514) Tinkler's Cave (NAT)
OS 6" map, Argyllshire, 2nd ed., (1900)
A cave, facing S in a low raised-beach cliff, which was blown up in the 19th century to prevent occupation by poachers, with the result that it is now much damaged, though the back is still habitable. There is a probable kitchen-midden at the entrance and there are smaller shelters nearby.
There are local rumours of a "pot of gold" having been found before it was blown up.
M Campbell and M Sandeman 1964.
As described. No evidence of a kitchen-midden was seen at the entrance, which is obscured by stone debris and bracken.
Visited by OS (W D J) 23 March 1970.
