    Ruigh Aiteachain bothy is recently renovated, of stone and tin construction. It's well equipped with a composting toilet (please follow instructions carefully) and fireplace which can be used with wood supplied by the estate.

    The bothy sleeps 10.
      Beautiful bothy. Nearby river ford crosses to asphalt road at Carnachuin. In crossing, you're going to get wet feet and legs unless you carry overboot waders. Passage across depends on the river water level at the time.

        Best bothy in Scotland!
