About "Dragon's Eye, The Cave of Gold aty Bornisketaig"

by Hans den Boer

About the artwork

The Cave of Gold is even relatively unknown to most locals on The Isle of Skye. Even those who do know it don't know that it actually consists of 3 caves lying next to each other.

Almost all the pictures you can find are taken from above, but it only becomes really beautiful when you dare to go into the caves at low tide. You then have a maximum of one to one and a half hours before the water flows back into the caves.

Also attached to the "Cave of Gold" is a legend. A bagpiper who enters the cave to defeat a dragon that causes a lot of mischief. The sound of a fight follows, the tones of the bagpipe silenced and a deathly silence follows. The bagpiper never comes back, but also the dragon has never shown up again.

Another story, if possible even more unlikely, is that in 1946 a gold treasure of some 35,000 British pounds was shipped to Scotland to support Prince Bonnie Charlesen's Jacobite allies in the rebellion against the English. Unfortunately, the gold arrived at Culloden 2 weeks after the all-decisive defeat. The story goes that the gold is hidden along the banks of Loch Arkaig, but there are also rumors that it is hidden in the Cave of Gold.....
