    Fuaran Allt nan Uamh.8.30am, 13/06/03~ A not very satisfactory shot of  one of the most remarkable natural phenomena in the northern highlands. This burn, instantly 8 or 10 feet wide, issues from - what? From a little pool at the foot of the bank on the left, the surface of which shows scarcely a ripple.I lingered here for maybe half an hour on the way to Breabag, and as long on the way back, entranced by this strange  enchanted spot - in Ancient Greece such a place would certainly have been the abode of Nymphs.The crag on the right at the back of the glen is Creag nan Uamh, which contains the famous Bone Caves.Arctic fox  /  Arctic lemming  /  Badger  /  Bank vole  /  Brown bear  /  Common shrew  /  Hare  /  Northern lynx  /  Northern vole  /  Otter  /  Ox  /  Pig  /  Polar bear  /  Rabbit  /  Rat vole  /  Reindeer  /  Stoat  /  Tundra vole  /  Water vole  /  Weasel  /  Wild cat  /  Wolf  /  Woodmouse    is a provisional list of the mammalian species whose bones have been found in the caves. Some human remains were carbon-dated to around 2600BC.
