- One night in a Scottish Bothy in the remote Northwest Highlands
In this video myself and a Tom head to a bothy in the Northwest highlands called Coire Fionnaraich. Having heavy rain on the forecast it was our best plan. This is the first time I have slept in a bothy, and I really enjoyed it. Probably the most well-kept bothy I have come across. It is only a short couple of miles walk on a decent footpath. There is very limited parking near the roadside for this one. Hope you enjoy this video as much as we enjoyed the adventure.
HISTORY
Coire Fionnaraich Bothy was built in the nineteenth century as a stalker’s cottage. An entry in the bothy book from 1989, by a Mr D Mckenzie, mentions a pre-war visit when he helped the stalker cut peats. Sadly, the stalker, Duncan Maclennan, who was a sniper in the Seaforth Highlanders, was killed at Dunkirk. The cottage was renovated for use as a bothy in 1986 and is and ideal stopping off place for hill walkers tackling the peaks of the Coulin Forest.

If ever you visit Wales/Snowdonia, I recommend giving Dulyn bothy a go 👌@@iamchriswhelan
This is something iv always wanted to do.
Can’t wait to go Scotland this year ❤
Such a beautiful place. You will love it.
Decent mate, never kipped in a bothy but always dread turning up and it being full of people. I’m shite at talking to strangers 😂
Get up Scotland lad and get one in. There's some right remote ones. This one had separate rooms so it was sound. Could just keep ourselves to ourselves. Thanks for watching man 👊
Just read Bothy Tales by John D Burns - it's a cracking read.Highly recommend it even if you've never heard of a bothy !
Sounds good that, I shall look into reading that. thanks for stopping by 👊
