| At Lagg, follow the sign posted track beside the tearoom and post office, to Torlin Cairn. Follow the track till you turn right to reach the shore. Turn left and continue for a few kilometres upon firm and boulder-free sand. In about 4 kilometres, the beginning of a boulder field is reached and soon after, the Black Cave. The sea here comes right to the cave at high tide. It is essential to know the tide times before setting out. If you get to the cave at high tide there is no alternative but to wait a couple of hours till the water level drops, or double back 1.5km to an escape route to the main road. The boulder field continues for nearly half a kilometre after the cave, but eventually is replaced by a reasonable path along the shore to Kildonan. Apart from the boulder field, this is a very pleasant walk. All along the shore there are basalt dykes and seals can invariably be seen on the rocks close inshore. | ||
