The Bone Caves
The site is a special site of scientific interest. The Bone caves were created thousands of years before the last ice age, as water gradually dissolved the limestone along cracks and fissures. They are only part of a larger cave system that includes Uamh an Claonaite, the longest cave system in Scotland. There are thirteen known caves in this valley. Over the thousands of years the valley has been deepened, cutting away part of the cave system and leaving the bone caves high and dry on the side of the valley.
