Smoo Cave, Durness - 23rd June 2006
arrive for 7:30pm, show starts at 8:00pm
The largest costal cave in the UK, Smoo is charged with the impression of generations: the floor of the cave is strewn with shells and fish bones cast aside by ancient occupants, the roof punctured by 3 blowholes legendarily created in an epic tussle between the Devil and Lord Reay. It’s a magical place, somehow epic and with a great echo and ever changing ambient sounds. A celebration of its location, with a bonfire and BBQ thrown into the mix, our visit should a community event to live long in the memory.
Directions
Smoo Cave lies about 1 mile to the East of Durness on the North Coast of Scotland, on the North side of the road. There is a signposted carpark, with toilet facilities. The cave is a short walk down the footpath, which is not accessible to wheelchairs. Although the cave itself is covered, please still consider this event is an outdoor one, so wrap up. There will be a BBQ and bonfire in addition to the performances.
