Bone Caves at Inchnadamph

The Bone Caves lie under the northern crags of Beinn an Fhuarain and are named after the remains of a huge amount and variety of animal bones were discovered here over a hundred years ago. There are three main cave entrances, named badger, reindeer and bone cave as you travel from west to east. Although they do not go in very far it is worth taking a torch to get maximum value from your visit. The caves themselves were created thousands of years before the last ice age as water gradually dissolved the limestone along cracks and fissures. They are part of a larger cave system that includes Uamh an Claonaite, the longest cave system in Scotland.
