Make sure you swing by the ruins of Bynack Lodge if you're passing on the Cairngorms Loop, or even make the most of what's left standing for shelter! Check out some photos of the original lodge dating back to 1952 here: cairngormwanderer.wordpress.com/2015/01/28/bygone-cairngorm-bothy-photos

A few years ago, these ruins were more valuable than they are now, as just a few kilometers away you'll find the now-renovated Red House Bothy. Sometime in recent years, the MBA, in collaboration with the Mar Lodge Estate, renovated this bothy, making it well worth a stopover or overnight stay.

There is a small shed round the back useful for a bivy if the midges aren't too bad.
