The interior, Smoo Cave near Durness.  Lorne Gill / SNH.

This limestone cave with its entrance 30m / 100ft wide has formed at the head of a narrow coastal inlet. A wooden pathway extends into the cave and allows viewing of the second inner chamber where Allt Smoo falls from an opening in the roof. Boat tours are available to the inner cave and waterfall throughout the summer.
