Hello all

Does anyone know / have information about the "Auld Wifes Lifts and Linn Caves near Mugdock" ? And, in particular, the exact location ?

Thanks

some patience with google should get you a land ranger reference you can use to find it.

Edit: sorry for not being more helpful, but I didn’t know if I should say exactly where it is.

However if you sholdnt search for linn caves and shouldnt look at the Dundee university Scottish caves entry

Oooh, I've got to go there, I see it on the OS map on the link iiis posted Spicer. Is it just off the footpath where the burn runs down ?

The caves are just off the Tower Road near the waterfall and they are quite substantial.
