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

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

Pics of the auld wives lifts can be found at:
