Inchnadamph Bone Caves

The cave entrances, at the top of the green slope, are in shadow most of the day. They must have been formed by the action of water, but erosion has cut the glen down through them, leaving them high and dry. On the other side of Creag nan Uamh ('Crag of the Caves') cavers have recently found an excavated a shaft leading down into a large cave system, including a chamber of impressive dimensions. The longest cave system in Scotland is accessed from Uamh an Claonite nearby.

Taken from the viewpoint at the A894 near Loch a' Mhinidh. View over the road bridging Loch Duartmore. The Cnoc on the Northern (left) shore towers like a bastion guarding the bridge at its feet (barely visible). The opposite densely wooded shore belongs to Duartmore Forest. In the distance rises Ben Strome.
