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.

Shenavall Bothy is one of my favourites especially having visited so many times. It has changed a lot in the fifty years I have known it, now quite a bit smaller than it originally was though undoubtedly more secure and in better condition. The views are stunning and is well positioned to climb the famous Fisherfield 6 (now sadly only 5) and of course the twin Corbetts, Beinn Dearg Mòr and Beinn Dearg Bheag which dominate the view to the north west.
