- The weather has been poor recently and we were desperate to get out of the house & have some kind of adventure so a bothy was our destination & Abyssinia near Butterbridge in Arrochar was our escape for a night and what a night.

A good looking bothy Brian, and nice that you put a bit of the history of the place on screen. Looks like a grand night was had & I hope everyone got over the river crossing on the way back without getting their feet too wet lol. I hate river crossings on slippy stones😂😂 a nice escape from the everyday routine, bothies are great for that TFS :)
Aye it's a cracking wee bothy Donna and a good night was had by all 🍺🍺 river crossing safely negotiated in the morning 😂 I'm not keen on them either Donna 😁 thanks for watching and commenting atb Brian 👍
@@donnavansenior A great wee night DVS x just nice to do something when the weather is pants 🌧️ yeah river crossings can be tricky in spate 😂 nice wee bothy and not too far from the road 🚘 nice wee bit of history around the bothy as well, thanks very much for watching and commenting Donna atb Brian 👍
gorgeous!😁
Good wee video enjoyed it. Never knew of this place but maybe not in use in the 60’s / 70’s. Arrochar area “ was fabulous “ parking has buggered it now. We climbed all over the Cobbler, hitched up on Friday night, nobody had a car but it was quite easy, had a couple of beers and went up to the Sucoth caves for the night. Sometimes dodged the beer and walked up into the main Corrie . There was a doss under a big boulder. You could get up early and climb all day. Another night under the boulder and a couple more routes in the morning before the hitch home. Happy days indeed. Bothies were a way of life then and most climbers and weekenders would maintain them themselves. They are becoming like 2* hotels now. Last one I went to in Glen Affric had solar panels ffs. Too old to do any of that now but I do miss it. Keep up the filming, good to see some down to earth stuff.
Thanks so much for your lovely comments Bob, yes things have definitely changed over the years, some good some bad but I think that people like yourself making the effort to get up to the likes of Arrochar and sleeping under Narnains Boulders so that you can get out in the mountains another day before heading home for work is absolutely amazing and shows how dedicated you were to enjoying every moment in the hills, old school indeed and the younger generation could learn a lot from the likes of yourself, again thank you so much and hopefully the next video will keep you tuned in, thanks atb Brian 👍

Bothys are not what they used to be , they were for a shelter for hill walkers , but now used by folk who rarely walk a hill , they come to the bothy for a nights partying or cheap family holidays,
If I was to come of the hill in a bad night looking shelter I would not get in,
These guys are not interested in the hills
I kind of get where your coming from but in my own case, I've done over 200 Munro's 🏔️ and many other hills 🏔️ at this particular point the weather as happens often in Scotland was very poor and had been for a weeks, so although it's not a big walk, we three friends decided to brave the weather and head for Abyssinia bothy, yes we had a few beers and met one other young Spanish guy who was visiting Scotland and using the bothy in part of his walk, we offered him a few drinks and exchanged stories regarding adventures large and small, a very pleasant encounter and the young man left in the morning very happy to have spent a lovely night in the bothy commenting how friendly we Scots are, we then set about cleaning the bothy and leaving it the way we found it, if you had appeared that night Phillip you certainly have got into the bothy and been made very welcome, atb Brian 👍
