The route to the Trailigill Caves which is the largest Cave system in Scotland starts from the carpark beside the Inchnadamph Hotel, which is also the start of the walk for the Munros Ben More Assynt and Conival. The going is fairly easy on the well made path all the way with a branch to the right for the caves.
Stunning scenery looking back to the Quinag mountain range
Uamh an Tartair, which translates as cave of the roaring is the first of the Trailigill Caves
Further up the valley to more caves, we didn't venture into this one
Heading back to the carpark across from Loch Assynt
The next day we drove to Inverkirkaig for a walk out to see the Falls of Kirkaig waterfall, which is around 2 miles or so each way along a path, thankfully the weather had been dry otherwise it could have been a boggy trudge.

We scrambled down the rocky path for a better view, not for the faint hearted
