Well, given that the water level of the Loch is HIGHER than the ocean level,
without some lock system (loch lock?) you can say that there is NO connection.

(that old "water seeks its own level" from the middle ages is not an entirely
bad statement)

So while we do not know where the caverns GO, we can say where they do not.
