Explorers discover Applecross cave
BBC News
A 180m-long cave, with stalactites up to 2m long, has been discovered in the west coast of the Highlands.
The underground chamber in Applecross was found by members of the caving club, Grampian Speleological Group.
The cavers enlarged a small man-sized entrance they had found, to explore a water-filled passage that led to a series of underground chambers.
David Morrison said it was "possibly the most beautifully decorated passage anywhere in Scotland".
