Occupying a wild spot on the moorland to the south of Cape Wrath, Strathchailleach is a former farmstead that has been since turned into a unique bothy that boasts three rooms. Nearby objectives include the stunning beach at Sandwood Bay and the 1,509-foot (460 m) Beinn Dearg in Parph's windswept interior.

The bothy was inhabited as recently as 1996 by a hermit named James MacRory-Smith, better known as Sandy. He made this shelter his home for 32 years and left his mark with a series of painted murals. The living room wall also displays his photo.
