Inchnadamph Bone Cave

Bone Caves, Inchnadamph

As the weather was forecast to be rainy, we took a short walk up to the so-called ‘Bone Caves’ near Inchnadamph in Assynt, Sutherland, Scotland. The bones have been removed, but you can explore the caves and imagine how various people and animals might have made use of them over the ages.
