Cruit Cave Crag.

Directions: Near the Northern tip of the island is a narrow zawn, with parallel sides. There is a cave on the western side of this zawn. This is Cruit Cave. Easiest access is from the wee pier, (as for the Owey Ferry) Follow the coastal path North for approx 800m and descend on to the huge area of non tidal slabs and rock facing out onto the colection of islands to the North.

A fourth crack is called after any of various marine gastropods having a spirally-coiled shell. It is reached by scrambling on from the opposite end of the wall.
