After clambering up the dry river for a mile or so, we begin to see our destination. You can just see on here, rising to the right our steep path to the caves that can just be made out. The frequent gust are fearsome and the air is wet but we will get there. See PiP showing our view back down the valley and Eileen clinging on for life. "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." Enjoy full size.
