Of all of Scotland's bothies, Shenavall is perhaps the most iconic. Its surroundings are incredible. Backed by the bristly, yet shapely, arc of Beinn Dearg Mòr and in the lee of An Tellach's southern slopes, few shelters are as well located.

The traverse of An Teallach, arguably the mainland's finest mountain, is an obvious draw. The bothy is also a popular basecamp for the Fisherfield Six, a challenging undertaking that involves taking on some of Scotland's most remote Munros. Nearby Loch na Sealga makes for a dreamy wild swim.

Shenavall is a wonderful bothy in a very remote location. A great base for Munro bagging of the Fisherfield/An Teallach Munros or as a stop along the Cape Wrath Trail.
