BBC1 Scotland's 'Grand Tours of the Scottish Islands' just had film in the 'Bone Cave', I think it was '[High Pasture Cave][1]' though I did not hear it called that. They just said it was below the summit of [Blaven][2].

The programme is on iPlayer.and there is also a short clip showing inside the cave.

[**Grand Tours of the Scottish Islands - West of Skyfall**][3]

[**The undiscovered treasures in the caves on the Isle of Skye**][4]

There is also some interesting footage of an old steam engine and locomotive on Soay (or at least the remains of them).

In this edition, Paul begins his journey at Loch Hourn on the mainland, travels over the sea to Skye and then heads to the tiny island of Soay before finishing on Canna. Along the way, he visits the house which was the inspiration for Skyfall, home of spy James Bond, embarks on a nerve-wracking caving expedition under the summit of Blaven and discovers the remarkable story of shark fishing off Soay.

It is High Pasture Cave.

Not sure about the phrase "under Blaven" though... you can see Blaven from the site but that's about it!

When I saw the title, I was expecting some innuendo laden "Julian & Sandy" sketch - "no hole too tight" etc. ;D
(apologies to the under 50's who haven't heard "Round The Horn")
We inhabit an island made of coal, surrounded by a sea full of fish. How can we go wrong.......
