Burleywhag has two main rooms, one is currently being reconstructed by the MBA (September 2025). The main room has a multi fuel stove, and a sleeping annex (sleeps 4 comfortably).

Walk in from Mitchellslacks is around 1 hour (5km) on good paths. There is a well constructed bridge outside Burleywhag, which stood up well to Storm Amy, but the water was coming over the top when the river was in spate.

As always with bothies, leave them as you find them. Tidy up and respect the space and don’t leave rubbish.
