The Deeside Field (Vol3, 1927), in a posthumous article by James Reid entitled 'The Caves and Birds of Fowlsheugh', describes Henry's Scorth thus:
'Rounding a Point, we are in Henry's Scorth. Another fine cave is here and is clearly the result of the sea working along a line of joint. There are only a few inches between the boat's gunwale and the jagged edges of rock. Inside, the cave widens into a large chamber ninety feet high like a cathedral nave and has fine echoes. Another narrow passage leads on to a second chamber. Beyond this, you pass into complete darkness. Close by, the sea is trampling on a hidden beach, 140yards from the entrance and you are actually below ploughed land in a field 140 feet above your head. This cave is really dangerous to visit. A boat caught in the narrows by a sudden swell entering the cave is a doomed boat.'
