Bennane Head
Bennane Head is a tapering piece of land formed of hard rock projecting into the Firth of Clyde, Scotland, at the northern end of Ballantrae Bay, southwest of Girvan. A cave in the cliff under the headland is said to be the place where the cannibal Sawney Bean and his family lived in the 16th century.. The cave is named on many maps, but the locality is more reliably known for another much smaller cave, walled off and formerly inhabited during the late 20th century by an eccentric local man, Henry Torbet, nicknamed 'Snib' and described on a nearby memorial cairn as 'Respected and independent'.
