The Bone Caves of Inchnadamph 1

I promised some weeks ago to show you some photos of our hike up to these bone caves. Well here they are. This and the photo before this shows the biggest cave from the inside, looking up the valley. Our trek back down was to the right from here, making our way to the bottom of the valley then turning left to retrace our way here. The green mountain side opposite was paying host to a herd of deer which I managed to photograph too.

"The Bone Caves are a series of natural caves set into a high limestone cliff called Creag nan Uamh (Crag of the Caves). The caves are named for the large numbers of animal bones found during excavations.
There are four main cave openings in the cliffs, formed before the last ice age by water dissolving limestone in cracks in the surrounding rock. Subsequent glacial action and erosion of the glen by water left the caves hundreds of feet above the valley floor."
