Lagangarbh is a mountain hut owned by the National Trust for Scotland and maintained and used by the Scottish Mountaineering Club. Its location below the huge Stob Dearg makes it one of the more iconic mountain huts in Britain.

There's room for 20 people to stay in alpine-style bunks, while the hut also boasts a kitchen, drying room, shower and toilet facilities. If you're not in the SMC but are a member of another club, Mountaineering Scotland or the BMC, it's possible to book the hut for your own use.
