Top 4 Caves 어신트 - 코이가흐

Quite a popular little hike, so it's quite busy. The caves aren't really that impressive - apart from their age and the finds, they're quite small - but there's a really strong spring on the way, which basically creates a fairly large stream on the side of the path.

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

Highly recommended visit the The Bones Caves

The large opening reveals a waterslide with a river flowing from a pothole above and leaving through the cavern to the right (where it ends in a sump). Don't try to enter the cave as the ground is steep and slippery - this is a dangerous place.

The water can't be seen but it can be heard - the large chamber is a dead-end. Further progress, strictly for equipped and experienced cavers only is made by crawling to the right under a section of low roof.

Lower Traligill Cave is the main sink for the River Traligill from Gleann Dubh. In wet weather the cave overflows and resurges, rapidly flooding the valley below. The entrance is visible from the Glenbain track, a broad arch with gravel and boulders on the floor.

From the car park and following a right turn at the fork marked with a large boulder you cross the river bed and climb gently above the burn towards the base of Creag nan Uamh - the Crag of the Caves. Following this is a narrow and steep section of path, be aware of rockfall risk.

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.
