Auld Wifes Lifts and Linn Caves near Mugdock

Hello all

Does anyone know / have information about the "Auld Wifes Lifts and Linn Caves near Mugdock" ? And, in particular, the exact location ?

Thanks

some patience with google should get you a land ranger reference you can use to find it.



Edit: sorry for not being more helpful, but I didn’t know if I should say exactly where it is.

However if you sholdnt search for linn caves and shouldnt look at the Dundee university Scottish caves entry

Caves

The caves are just off the Tower Road near the waterfall and they are quite substantial.

It really is a great place to visit. Nice bit of carving on the stone as well
