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.
