Ryvoan is a classic Scottish bothy, a haven on the open ground beyond the Ryvoan Pass. It's a popular shelter too, being relatively easy to access from Glen More.

There's a beautiful poem on the door by AM Lawrence, a poet from Burgh by Sands in Cumbria. The piece is called 'I Leave Tonight from Euston' and encapsulates the thrill of leaving civilisation to seek out wild places, such as those we find in the Cairngorms.

Hiking

Bothies, in case you haven't come across these lovely things, are little mountain huts dotted around Britain's wildest places, mainly in Scotland. Used as warm shelters by weary hikers (including overnight stays), they can vary greatly in comfort levels.
