Cleeves Cove
Cleeves Cove or Blair Cove〔service, page 194〕 is a solutional cave system on the Dusk Water in North Ayrshire, Scotland, close to the town of Dalry.
==Cave system==
The Cleeves, or Cleaves Cove (Scots) cave system is situated in the lower beds of Carboniferous limestone. It has a total passage length of around . The caves are now well above the level of the Dusk Water and lie close to Cleeves Farm and Blair Mill on the Blair Estate. Many of the stalactites and stalagmites have been damaged by visitors. The cave has three practical entrances facing onto the Dusk Water.
A number of older books refer to ''the romantic sylvan dell of Auchenskeigh,'' now Auchenskeith, derived from ''Achadh-na-sgitheach'' - the field of thorns.〔Dobie, James D. (ed Dobie, J.S.) (1876). ''Cunninghame, Topographized by Timothy Pont'' 1604–1608, with continuations and illustrative notices. Pub. Glasgow : John Tweed. p. 49.〕 The calcareous incrustations in these caves were compared with Gothic fretwork. A number of old limestone quarries lie close to the modern day farm of Auchenskeith, but it is likely that Auchenskeigh is a synonym for Cleeves Cove.〔Harvey, William (1910), ''Picturesque Ayrshire.'' Pub. Dundee : Valentine & sons. p. 90.〕
