Excavations were carried out in the bone caves from 1889 and various animal and human bones were found. These were dated to an age of 47,000 to 8,300 years. The individual caves are connected by corridors and provided temporary accommodation for hunters and gatherers. Without special equipment or guides, only the first few meters of the caves are safely accessible.

The bone caves have held some of the oldest skeltal remains in scotland, including a 20,000 year old polar bear skull. A fairly easy path to follow, 2km from the car park.

Great caves! They're obviously part of a system that you can descend into when you have experience.
