The Banks

These are the cliffs at the northern edge of Cammachmore Bay – they are decidedly more cliffs than banks though. In recent years the local farmer has been using this area as a dumping ground for stones and boulders.  

As in Arnot Bo and near to the Moat, this appears to be a popular area with climbers and bouldering people – there does appear to be plenty of large boulders here in addition to those smaller ones thrown over the edge by the farmer. 

You’ll also find a small series of tunnels here – not true caves, just what occurred naturally due to the lie of the rocks against each other. These tunnels go down to sea level. I mention those here because when we were young we used to be small enough to enter and explore them however for any adults they are probably quite insignificant. Be careful if you are climbing here because there is one “pothole” that has a twenty foot drop to rock or water (depending on tide.)
