Inchnadamph

Caves, tunnels and underground streams are highlights of Inchnadamph. They include the famous Allt nan Uamh caves, where scientists found human remains dating back at least 4500 years as well as the bones of animals now extinct in Scotland. The underlying limestone creates ideal conditions for uncommon plants like mountain avens, frog orchid and holly fern.

News - Inchnadamph delisted as a National Nature Reserve - July 2009
