    Tips

    June 23, 2022

    Bob Scott's is a bothy that has seen a few bumps in the road. It has burnt down twice, once in 1986 and again in 2003, but has risen like a phoenix to be the well-loved haunt it is today. This is thanks to the fundraising skills of a group of enthusiasts 'Friends of Bob Scott's.

    It is very well located for all manner of adventures in the Cairngorms, including as a staging post for Ben Macdui, Britain's second highest mountain. There's room for six to sleep, though this is a bit of a squeeze.
