Hiking
The Wemyss Caves were forged by the power of the ocean around 8,000 years ago. You can see six caves on the coastline below the ruins of MacDuff’s Castle; many of which have immense historical importance due to the high number of carvings which are inscribed on their walls—the earliest of which are thought to date to the Bronze Age. Under threat from coastal erosion, structural instability, and vandalism, the caves have been designated as a scheduled monument.
