Tess and Darrin at the Covenanters' Cave

Image: © Walter Baxter Taken: 8 May 2010

There is a small cave to the southeast of Cargenbridge that is marked on the Ordnance Survey Map as Covenanters’ Cave. It is located in a strip wood on steep ground overlooking the Cargen Water and is associated with the Covenanting times when Presbyterians were persecuted by government soldiers for their religious beliefs. The entrance to the cave is on the left Image By pure chance I met up here with fellow geographer Darrin Antrobus accompanied by his dog Tess. He was also taking photos of the cave with his iPhone pic Image
