The Bone Caves of Inchnadamph

Creag nan Uamh, Assynt

Caves full of the bones of bears, lynx and reindeer.

High on a limestone cliff are the Bone Caves, where explorers found the bones of animals that once lived in Scotland: brown bears, lynx, arctic foxes, wolves and reindeer, some from the Ice Age. The remains of people buried in the caves in the Stone Age were also found.
