Caves of Caiplie

Immovable Culture Heritage

This piece of immovable heritage dates back to the 2nd century. This cave system is located on the Fife Coastal path between Anstruther and Crail. The main structure of the Caiplie Caves is a result of sea erosion, whereas specific larger caves have also been shaped by the carvings of humans who found shelter in them over different time periods (Caiplie, “the Coves” | Canmore, n.d.). Preserving the Caves of Caiplie through digital methods would address the following Sustainable Development Goals (United Nations, 2015): - SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, specifically Target 11.4: "Strengthen efforts to protect and safeguard the world’s cultural and natural heritage." - SDG 4.7: Education and Awareness - SDG 15.1: Environmental Conservation - SDG 8.9: Inclusive and Sustainable Tourism
