Tour Scotland photograph of Wemyss Caves, Fife, Scotland. About 6,000 to 7,00 B.C. the sea formed a series of caves in the sandstone cliffs at Wemyss. The name of the Parish of Wemyss comes from the Gaelic " Uiam " meaning a cave, which changed through the Old English form " Weim " to " Weem " and finally to its present " Wemyss ". Several caves have engravings, which tell us something about the time they were used by Bronze Age man.
