Mystery surrounds the mystery as to why Smoo Cave is known as Smoo Cave. The most popular and most popularly accepted theory is because it is named after the nearby Smoo Cave Hotel, located within 500m of the cave entrance. Other concepts include the fact it is derived from Smigel's Cave after a scene of The Two Towers was shot here by Peter Jackson. A visitor from Norway also once said that Norse word "smjugg" means hole creek or cleft, and that Viking settlers nearby may have named it this. This growing theory and his reputation was disregarded however after he went on the cave tour and thought that the waterfall's water came from the sea. It was later discovered that the name originated from S.M.O.O Cave (Subsurface Military Onshore Operations) which operated here during the war - See M
