    That was a great one Julie, and the weather blessed you too! My dear friend Sir Wrecks must have received his knighthood here from the King himself! Ha-ha! The view over the water is so tranquil, but in a storm, you'd not last long in the elements! People like myself, who can no longer get to these very interesting places, due to age and deformity, are very grateful to you, Martin and Sir Wrecks, as you research and tell all on your video. I am eternally grateful, and lucky to be your friend! old Tich.

    Really enjoyed that. Glad Wrecks kept his hair! Thanks for this. Very interesting.

    I just love hearing the history. The caves are beautiful. I so would like to have a home built into a cave. I would imagine that caves played a big part in history. Thank you for this!

      You are welcome! The caves were wonderful. Plenty more with stories to come I imagine 😉

    Magical. I've always liked that story. Of course it doesn't matter which cave. But that one is beautiful.
    I like stone piling or whatever it's called. Haven't heard the arguments against and don't think much of them.
    Let us enjoy beauty wherever we find it.
    Thanks, Julie.

      It would be nice to find the truth about 'which' Cave, lost to time now, unfortunately.
      Where the stones are concerned, I agree we should enjoy beauty where we find it. I prefer natural beauty over man made.
      Erosion is a major issue where there is sustained removal of stones from an area.
      Folk in Skye spend a lot of time building their wee piles of stones in the Fairy Glen, and locals spend the same amount of time, returning the landscape to it original state.
      I have issues with the stone piling on hill walks. There are cairns specifically built as waymarkers, and stone art can be misleading, easily sending some one off in the wrong direction, possibly to their doom, and there are confirmed cases of this.

    I love caves, so atmospheric. The colours in your video look so vivid at the start. I've never seen stone stacking en masse like that but I quite liked it.

      We lucked out on the weather that day, hard slig in the heat though! Well worth it, my favourite visit on Arran.

    Very interesting video. The views really are beautiful. Caves can always be an adventure - especially ones that may have housed a king! It's wonderful to see Wrecks again! Give him a pat on the head from me!

      Glad you enjoyed it. Wrecks and I appreciated the cool temperatures in the caves as it was a hot hot day!

    I loathe stone stacking. I visited King’s Cave in 2018. Awesome!

    Wallace supposedly had a cave in Roslin Glen in Midlothian, Scotland. Hawthornden Castle has many caves and links to each one, in order to help people avoid the "High Heid Yins", and allegedly were in use during the "Battle of Roslin" in 1303, when the much smaller Scots army beat three divisions of the English. ....Tich.
