Bones Caves

Discover the Bones Caves, a must for history and nature lovers. These caves, set in a spectacular setting, are famous for their fascinating archaeological finds. Remains of prehistoric animals such as lynx, arctic foxes, otters and even polar bears have been excavated here, bearing witness to Scotland's wildlife during the last Ice Age, some 18,000 years ago. Protected by Scottish Natural Heritage, this unique site offers a fascinating insight into the evolution of Scotland's fauna and geology.

The hike takes you through a peaceful valley before climbing slightly to reach the caves, located side by side at the foot of a towering cliff. The trail is unmarked but well defined and easy to follow.. No need to bring a headlamp: the caves, though fascinating, are small and shallow.
