Massacre Cave has a small entrance, but when you're through the narrow channel it opens out and extends back in the dark some 79 metres. You will need a torch to explore it.

The cave has a gruesome past, back in 1577 a group of Macleods from Skye landed on the island in a long running feud with the Macdonalds. The entire population of the island hid in the cave for 3 days. As the Macleods sailed away they finally spotted a lookout and were able to trace his footsteps in the snow back to the cave. The Macleods built a huge fire and the smoke killed the 395 people trapped inside.
