Inchnadamph Bone Caves loop

Easy hike, just a short climb to the caves. Don't forget waterproof shoes! Tip for motorhome drivers: At the start of the hike, you can officially park your motorhome behind the fence for 10 pounds per 24 hours. There's a regular hiker parking lot in front of the fence, but due to the slope, it's not suitable for overnight stays. The back lot is flat, quiet except for the stream water, and it's a great spot!

The Inchnadamph Bone Caves are four limestone caves in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland where numerous bones of Ice Age animals such as reindeer, wolves, lemmings, and bears have been found since the late 19th century. Located above a remote valley near Assynt, they offer a glimpse into the Ice Age history of the Scottish Highlands as you peer into the cave openings.

A short but incredibly exciting hike. In the Bone Caves, researchers have not only found bones of animals that have long since become extinct or eradicated in Scotland (lynx, wolf, lemmings), but also fragments of a 20,000-year-old polar bear skull! But the path itself is also wonderful: a narrow path leads past a waterfall straight into the valley and winds its way past the caves like a white ribbon in the green slope.
