A trip to the 'Bone Caves' near Inchnadamph is quite spectacular. The caves, which were once the home of early man, are set in the mountain side and have been the site of various archaeological finds over the years including bones from Deer, Wolves, Bear, etc. which will give you an idea of how old they are. It's well worth the trek of about 2 miles up the valley in spectacular surroundings, crossing boulder-strewn stream beds. The view when you get up to the caves is beautiful and is a perfect place to sit and have a break. On the way to the caves, look out for the river which rises out of the ground at

your feet and which is beautifully clear and cold - in the summer, it is wonderful to take boots and socks off and cool hot feet in on the return journey. It’s not a difficult walk by any means and the path is well defined and fairly even - take some walking boots and a waterproof jacket, just in case, and you should have no problem.

To get to the Bone Caves, drive out of Lochinver on the A837 towards Ledmore Junction and at the South Eastern end of Loch Assynt, you come to Inchnadamph. Carry on a mile or so and before you get to Stonechrubie, there is a trout farm on the left and you will see a signpost to the Bone Caves. A leaflet with more details can be found in the information folder in the chalet.
