HY5708 : The Bought - Helzie

taken 12 years ago, near to North Halley, Mainland, Orkney Islands, Scotland

The Bought - Helzie
The Bought - Helzie
Between The Kettle and Scava Taing is small head - The Bought. At the left of this picture is a cave leading to a long tunnel. Don't go in there unless you are brave.
It seemed about 35 metres long, winding leftwards into darkness, finishing somewhere under the Covenanter's Graves.

Slimy walls, eerie echoes, a low roof and gentle swell work spells on the imagination. HY5708 : Choices - Helzie
I wondered who, besides me, had been there.
