Many years of fieldwork reports, photos and updates on Uamh an Ard Achadh to be found here.

I can never get their virtual tour to move beyond the second photo! There is also information (scroll to the bottom of the home page) on Uamh an Eich Bhric (Cave of the Speckled Horses).

Looking forward to a wee trip up to the RSA this weekend.

I meant to pop back and say thanks :-). I can't get it to move past the second photo either though, drat...


Just wanted to add to the thread that there's now a 360 degree parorama on the RSA website, if like me you can't make it in person in time...

I rather like it, from what I can tell from the online version, but I do wish it had been given more space and perhaps expanded (over a few rooms?). Not sure if the size was down to the RSA or artists original vision. Then again, I've never been in High Pasture, so... ;-)

I thought the artists notes on the audio were interesting, going to have a google to see if I can dig more info :-).

"The audio originates from sets of recordings myself and Norman Shaw made of musicologist John Purser. These took place deep inside the High Pasture Cave stream passage where John played various ancient instruments such as bronze horns and bone flutes and performed harmonic singing."
