Tour Scotland very short 4K Summer travel video clip, with Scottish music, of the entrance to the bone caves on ancestry, geology, genealogy, family history visit and trip to Inchnadamph in Assynt in the North West Sutherland Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. The Bone Caves of Inchnadamph contain relics of Eurasian lynx, brown bear, Arctic fox, reindeer, dated to 47,000 BCE, the only evidence of polar bears so far found in Scotland, and human skeletons dated to the 3rd millennium BCE. The skeleton of a bear thought to be 11,000 years old or more was removed from the caves in 2008. The bones were found by cavers in 1995, deep in the Uamh an Claonaite system and It is presumed the animal died while hibernating, and that its body was later washed further into the underground network. The name Inchnadamph is an anglicisation of the Gaelic name Innis nan Damh meaning meadow of the stags. Assynt is a remote area with a low population density. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome. @tourscotland
