ARBROATH'S RNLI lifeboat crew discovered a 'house' in the cliffs near the town this week.
The Coastguard had requested the assistance of the Arbroath RNLI lifeboat shortly after 4 p.m. on Tuesday as members of the public had called 999 after they thought they heard cries for help coming from caves.

The lifeboat was searching the caves

and cliff face when they came across a rope ladder bolted to the cliff face.

A volunteer member of the lifeboat crew investigated further to ensure no one was in trouble inside the cave only to discover a wooden wall and locked door with porthole window inside a cave at the top of the ladder.

I found this on the internet today and thought of ats, pretty cool. has its own door with porthole. i dont think they know who made it or is using it, maybe by someone who cannot be seen by the public? a Reptillian's/grey house? seamonsters house? or a modern pirate den, it could possibly be used for kidnapping.

i dont know, but i like to think that its some sort of reptillian's(inner earth kind) holiday home, the ultimate getaway from it all.

Thats just bizare.Its not like a squat.Its a house inside a cave on cliffs in the middle of nowhere.Who the hell would build that.How would they have got all the stuff in there?
Amazing.
Cant wait for more info on it.

Great, now I need to move.

Seriously, nice find, this place is great. Assuming it isnt being used for something awful. If its just some guy looking to get away for awhile, I couldnt imagine a better retreat. Please let us know if you find anything else on it.

I know that oil fields used to have or still have sturdy doors set into a cliffside.
Reason being, I'm not sure, but pipeline systems are what I've been told.

Since this is in the UK an oil field is probably not involved, but the door could access the interior of the mountain for other reasons.
Pipelines as noted, low voltage electrical distribution systems and perhaps it was part of the coastal defense system during WW2.



Regardless, interesting post.

Someone laying low from the law maybe

I'd believe that before I believe it was Reptilians

probably used by drug smugglers, no doubt the tabloids will claim elvis was seen in the area

Very unlikley, considering there is(from what I gather, was seen through teh porthole.as no pictures of inside) wooden laide floors! painted walls and fresh beercans inside. also possible a white cat named fluffy

It kind of reminds me of the secret party pit of my teenage years, out of sight out of mind, although ours was 100ft up a maple tree on a wooden platform, wasn t easy getting up and even harder coming down after a few wobbly pops.

For some very strange reason, the first thing I thought of when I read this article was Sawney Bean. Although I certainly hope that whatever this cave home was used for in no way bears any similarities to that legend!

How in the hell did anyone not die?

If I was drinking I'd stay the hell away from places like that.

Chains on the wall? not a good sign but why did they leak this to the news without sitting around and seeing who was using it? Sloppy coppers. Was there any hidden tunnels in this house or elsewhere in the cliffs? It's a good idea for a retreat thou. As long as the cliff above isn't decaying rapidly. Post more pics if you see any.

I think the forties pipeline has a node near arbroath so you could be right, I think its for drug running myself.
Looking at live maps is pretty good, the coastline has lots of natural inlets.

mind you, cries of help, perhaps is people smuggling?

Oh that mcgyver is always making the coolest things.

It might just be a "romantic" place to go with your mermaid "friend".

yep. one of Howard Marks' old hideouts. still its very cool whatever it is

So what is the big deal? One of the college professors in Indiana had a house built in a cave. Biggest problem was the 100% humidity. Otherwise it was a really neat place.

Neat post.

I'm not terribly dark in my thinking, but- I smell something sinister here...

Very hard to hear a scream on a sea- cliff, don't you think ?

I could here the police dispatcher on this one , ' ma'm, calm down- there are millions of seagulls on that cliff... '.

Somethin sick might have been going on there and somebody wanted to tip off the cops ?

I prefer the partying kids or the guy-in-the-doghouse theory, though.
