Description

** Wallac's Cave** is a fascinating historical monument carved in soft red sandstone in the Gothic style. This 18th century grotto, with its distinctive ribbed vault and central roof finial creating the impression of a cross, hides a rich history associated with Scotland's national hero.

The roughly 14-square-foot space is accessible through a seven-foot-high spur entrance. The cave is a unique attraction for lovers of history and architecture, offering an unforgettable experience in the natural, unspoiled surroundings of the Lugar River Valley.

avatarNicole McDonald2 years agoVery nice, more of an arch than a cave but it was a nice spot to enjoy a wee lunch by the water. We took the trek along the avon heritage trail from muiravonside it was a good walk, challenging in bits if you have bad knees or hate stairs
avatarPhil Grista year agoInteresting wee place, but not so much cae as it is a wall lol, cool carvings in the stone dating back decades atleast. Parking is not great as the cave is at the end of a private road. Better to park further along main road and walk along, but no path so caution to traffic is wise.
avatarIsabell Alvarez2 years agoGreat walk and Wallace cave very beautiful. have had a few walks there but now that more people are visiting there's lots of litter about 😡.
