Smoo cave
Hiking Highlight
The cave's first chamber has been formed by the sea, the inner passages by rainwater. Tours in summer take visitors to the inner chamber by boat. No charges if you don't make the boat trip. smoocave.org

The river plunges almost 25 meters into the cave. You can also see that from the outside - there is a platform above the cave on the other side of the street. So do not miss it.

An experience if I ever had one, we visited while on the NC500, after the typically scottish weather of rain for days on end. We went down to the opening and in to the smaller chamber, and the most almighty roar of a waterfall could be heard, seen and felt, I have been to many waterfalls over my adventures and never seen or felt anything like the one here, its not very tall, but the sheer power after the rain we had was immense.

Green shimmering algae on cold stone walls, an underground waterfall, a large chamber that opens onto a bay with a sandy beach - the Smoo Cave is an impressive natural beauty in the north of Scotland.
