29 mCaiplie Caves Weathered and eroded over the millennia by the action of wind and tide, this chunk of red sandstone now stands isolated. Medieval chronicles associate Caplie with St. Adrian (or St. Ethernan) who was killed on the Isle of May in 875 by Viking raiders. Christian crosses carved into the wall of Chapel Cave give credence to the theory that this was a shrine to the martyred saint.

83 mCaiplie Coves These are shallow caves and eroded sandstone arches along the 25 foot raised beach. One of the caves was the hermit's cell of St. Adrian who was killed by marauding Danes on the Isle of May in 875. In his cave, Chapel Cave, many ancient crosses have been carved in the walls and there is also a holy water stoup. From certain angles the arches assume grotesque faces. Fife's answer to Mount Rushmore?
