Cave of Gold
The Uamh Oir or Cave of Gold is Skye's answer to Fingal's cave on Staffa. It gives a delightful short walk and is a great place for a picnic; however the final the pathless coastal slope down to it is very steep and dangerous, requiring great care.

The descent to see the cave is down an extremely steep grass slope which could be dangerous in the wet.Grade 2Distance 2.25km (1.4 miles)Ascent 68m (223ft)
