Raitts Cave A souterrain near Lynchat which dates to the later Iron Age (around AD 100-400). A stone built underground chamber, in a horseshoe shape, believed by archaeologists to have been used as a secure and cool storage chamber for food supplies. It was first excavated in 1835.
The River Spey which rises in Loch Insh and the Insh Marshes located 1–2 miles south and east of the village, passes the villages to the south. The main A9 road passes to the north of Lynchat.
