The largest maritime cave in Europe - although much smaller since about 2/3rds of it collapsed over the last few thousand years - Smoo was carved out by the action of waves. It scores 'a doubly whammy' with a supplementary limestone cave - on the right - carved out by the action of a river that still runs into the cave, but oddly disappears and appear not to emerge. The cave also boasts a small loch which, if you visit, you're taken across in an inflatable boat. Fascinating!
