ULLAPOOL: trip to the BONE CAVES [2010]. Advert free Video!
Them bones. 'Bones, caves and bleak lands' is what it states on the signpost and thats exactly what is here. You may find it hard to imagine that Polar Bears once lived here in Scotland but on this bitterly cold, bleak, snow-showery 'summer' day it certainly wasn't too difficult to imagine! The Bone Caves have been designated as an Ancient Monument by Historic Scotland and also as a Site of Scientific Interest by Scottish National Heritage and only requires a short hillwalk to reach them.
This is the route to the 815m Corbett BREABAG meaning 'little height' while looking back reveals the view of the 847m Corbett CANISP meaning 'white hill'. An engraved stone on the path at a junction indicates the route to the mountain and for us on this trip anyway the route to those caves. I've never seen a road sign used on a mountain path before so the 'falling rocks' sign on the hillside path must be at least somewhat perhaps unique.
These amazing caves have been named Fox's Den, Bone Cave, Reindeer Cave and Badger Cave and it was during a 1925 visit by geologist J.E.Cree that the incisor tooth of a bear and two pieces of reindeer antler were found. The following year Badger Cave and Reindeer Cave were excavated and more items were found. Nearly 1000 fragments of reindeer antler have been found some of which date back to over 47000 years.
So, Arctic Fox, Polar Bears and Northern Lynx as well as many other animals have left their mark up in these Bone Caves in this Inchnadamph National Nature Reserve. On this occasion though it was our turn to shiver in them. The actual Reserve itself was previously a resting place for cattle during the drives to market in Falkirk. The four north-facing caves look out from the base of the limestone Creag nan Uamh over the Allt nan Uamh glen. At the head of this glen, would-be Corbeteers will encounter the ancient calving grounds of the reindeer on the slopes of BREABAG.
Reindeer Cave and Bone Cave are connected by a narrow passage that children can apparently negotiate! The most interesting find in the cave really has to be the discovery in 1927 of a Polar Bear cranium aged at around 18,855 years old! There is no evidence to suggest that people ever lived in the caves although they may have been used on hunting trips; the caves have been mainly inhabited by animals. The Polar Bear skull and some reindeer antlers are on permanent display in the Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.
At a car-park some 5km north of Ledmore on the A837 a path departs passing some small Falls before following the steep and winding path to the Bone Caves where you are treading in the footsteps of some of our best known explorers. It is said of Ben Peach that, when working in the Northwest, he would work long hours and then take every third day off and go fishing. So they obviously took sickies in the old days as well then. Anyway, he may not have had much luck because there are no lochs up the glen of Allt nan Uamh, and not much in the way of rivers either, but world-famous geologists Peach and Horne found something just as rewarding. While surveying the geology of the area, they came across the Creag nan Uamh Bone Caves and in 1889 they partially excavated the mouth of one of them and found pieces of animal bones. Peach and Horne found the remains of animals that incredibly once roamed the Scottish Highlands including Lynx, Polar Bear, Arctic fox and Lemmings.
The Moine Thrust runs through the area and the nearby Inchnadamph Hotel is apparently still a mecca for geologists. Its a pity that the Public Bar doesn't appear to be open to the Public now although I can remember sitting in the bar here many years ago after having just climbed Conival and Ben More Assynt. Nearby there is a monument on the other side of the road to the work of Ben Peach and John Horne whose work was so crucial in the understanding of this, the first thrust fault to be discovered anywhere in the world. The monument's inscription reads: To Ben N Peach and John Horne who played the foremost part in unravelling the geological structure of the North West Highlands 1883-1897. An international tribute. Erected 1980. The hotel retains a copy of the guest book signed by many prominent geologists of the day who visited during the 1912 British Association for the Advancement of Science excursion to Assynt.
Well, this certainly was a fascinating hike to the caves where the remains of the last known wild Polar Bear to live in Britain were discovered.
Blethering Ben - 86 - The Bone Caves of Inchnadamph
'The Bone Caves of Inchnadamph' sounds a bit like a Hammer Horror film but they are in fact one of the most important sites in Scotland for prehistoric animal remains. The bones that were unearthed here have long since been moved to local and national museums, so I walked up to the lonely crag knowing full well that there'd be nothing to see other than the caves themselves. But after spending a couple of hours up on the crag, with the entire glen to myself, I was surprised to discover the place still has an atmosphere all its own.

Weird River near Bone caves
This is downright weird!
My wife,kids and I went camping last week at a fantastic campsite in Achmelvich, way up in the North Highlands of Scotland. We decided to walk to Bone Caves, a couple of miles outside Inchnadamph. About a mile and a half along the path to the caves we came across this river. We stood looking at it for ages because it is just so ... erm ... wrong looking.
Fantastic place, thoroughly recommend it!
Cheers

Ullapool is a village of around 1,500 inhabitants in Ross-shire, Scottish Highlands. Despite its small size Ullapool is the largest settlement for many miles around and an important port and tourist destination. The North Atlantic Drift passes Ullapool, moderating the temperature. A few Cordyline australis or New Zealand cabbage trees are grown in the town and are often mistaken for palms.
The village of Ullapool lies on Loch Broom, on the A835 road from Inverness. The Ullapool River flows through the village. On the east shore of Loch Broom, Ullapool was founded in 1788 as a herring port by the British Fisheries Society.
The region surrounding Ullapool is dominated by rugged mountains, and especially by Bheinn Ghobblach to the west, An Teallach to the south west (both across the loch), Beinn Dearg to the south east close to the head of Loch Broom, and Ben Mhòr na Còigich to the north. An Teallach is a massive mountain which dominates the area and consists of Torridonian sandstone, which is layered nearly horizontally.
Ullapool has a strong reputation as a centre for music, the arts and performance. The village of Ullapool has a small museum housed in a Telford Church, An Talla Solais, an arts centre with frequently changing exhibitions and workshops, a swimming pool and fitness centre, and several pubs, bed and breakfasts, restaurants and hotels.
In May every year there is the three-day Ullapool Book Festival which attracts a diverse range of writers and with work in both Scottish Gaelic and English. The Macphail Centre has a theatre hosting a regular programme of musical, dance and theatrical performances. Ullapool is home to the shinty team Lochbroom Camanachd.

It is an easy climb but is several miles from the nearest road, so a long trek is needed before the ascent begins.
What did I get myself into? || Solo Campervan Trip in Scotland - Day 1 & 2
In July 2018, I travelled to Scotland to spend four weeks touring around in a rented campervan. I was excited to give van life a go but wasn't fully prepared to drive exhausted, on the wrong side of the road, in an unfamiliar vehicle with unexpected features. Thankfully, all turned out well and I made it to my first destination - Dumbarton Castle - where the sunshine and gorgeous view made the stresses of travel melt away, reigniting my excitement for the rest of the trip to come.
SECRET CAVES OF HASANKEYF !
Hasankeyf is a antique place at the Tigris River, on the road. A modern bridge now spans that
river, but the impressive remains of a much older bridge are more...
standing tall. High rocks house thousands of rock houses, and
support a mosque and the remains of an extensive ancient city,
now in ruins. The town was founded in Roman times as a border
post with Persia. It started out as Cephe or Kiphas, and was
renamed Hisn Kayfa by the Arabs who conquered it in 640. Later
Artokids and Ajjadubids ruled, until the Mongols plundered it
so thoroughly in 1260 that it never regained its glory. The
age of the old bridge is unknown, it has been restored in 1116
by the Ortokid Fahr ed-Din Kara Arslan. In the Kale or citadel
one can find the remains of an Ortokid palace (not very
impressive, though) and a Ulu or Great Mosque. For years the
town was expected to be drowned by the waters of another
artifical lake, like there are a lot in these areas (the Ilusu
Dam Project). The last I heard was that there were troubles in
financing that project, partly because of the growing protests
against the cultural vandalism involved. I hope this treasure
will be visible for many years to come. However, I later read
that in August 2006 the decision was made to flood the place
after all. Hopefully the 40 million euro reserved for saving
cultural treasures will help save some of what you can see
here, but much will disappear.
