    Also known as 'McCook's Cottage', Ben Alder Cottage bothy is a brilliantly remote refuge, nestled between the peak of Ben Alder and Loch Ericht.

    This medium-sized bothy sleeps up to six people, and has a wood-burning stove, although you'll need to bring your own supply of firewood.

    This bothy has a rich history, having been used by ghillies, stalkers, fishermen, walkers and poachers over the years, and is also said to be haunted!
      We went here by bike from Bridge of Gaur. Doable, only had to hike the last hour through marhses.

        A Boothy in the right place. On one side 2-lane marsh, on the other side a path over the mountains with a difficult ford at high tide. And then there is a "path" along the lake shore towards Dalwhinnie
