Bone Caves


The caves above Allt Nan Uamh are amongst the most interesting in Scotland. Excavations have revealed bones of the animals that inhabited this part of Scotland during the last ice age, 11,000 years ago. They include brown bear, polar bear, artic fox, reindeer, lynx and lemming. There is a good 2km / 1 mile path to the Bone caves from the car park at grid reference NC 253 179, 4km / 2 miles south of Inchnadamph on the A837.
