Inchnadamph Caves

These four north facing Bone Caves of Inchnadamph look out from the base of the limestone Creag nan Uamh over the Allt nan Uamh glen.

At the head of the glen, the ancient calving grounds of the reindeer are seen on the slopes of Breabag.

Reindeer Cave and Bone Cave are connected by a narrow passage which children can crawl through.

The caves give us a unique glimpse back in time revealing what animals lived here during the last 45,000 years. From arctic polar bears and northern lynx, to the hyenas and hippos of warmer climes, many different animals have left their mark on the Bone Caves of Creag nan Uamh. Join them on a journey to explore their fascinating history.

There is a good 2km/1 mile path from the car park at the fish hatchery to the Bone Caves but it does go over some rough and steep ground so please take care at all times. Similarly, though the caves' entrance chambers may be examined standing up, care should be taken at the rear of Reindeer Cave where it drops down to a crawl way.

The significance of the Bone Caves is recognised by their designation as an Ancient Monument by Historic Scotland and as a Site of Special Scientific Interest by Scottish Natural Heritage.

PLEASE NOTE that the postcode offered is for sat nav purposes only to get you into the area, it will not get you right to the caves, please plan your trip in advance.
