This is a medium sized bothy of two rooms with bunk-bed platforms for 16 people. It was built in 2016 when the owner of the former bothy reclaimed the original as a private dwelling. It enjoys a stunning location on Camasunary Bay with amazing views of islands and peaks. There's no fireplace or stove.

The bothy is free to use but if you plan to stay consider joining the Mountain Bothies Association to help contribute to the upkeep of these awesome shelters. mountainbothies.org.uk

A stunning place to spend the night. A trek to get to (especially on a bike) but well worth the effort
