Uamh an Claonaite explained
Uamh an Claonaite (Scottish Gaelic: Cave of the sloping rock) is the longest cave in Scotland.[2] It consists of a series of dry passages and a series of at least six sumps which have been dived over the years.[3]
The attempt by members of the Grampian Speleological Group to excavate a nearby sinkhole, Rana Hole, and connect into the final chambers from above[4] achieved its aim in December 2007.[5]
The length of the cave is 28680NaN0 and the vertical range is .[1]
