Corryhully bothy, beter known as the 'Electric' bothy is a great maintained bothy in the Glennfinnan Estate. In contrast to most other Scottish bothies, this one is not maintained by the M.B.A. (Mountain Bothy Association), but by the estate itself... by Alistor the 'estate manager' to be exact (see picture of guy with hat). Friendliest of persons. We met on out way in near the Glennfinnan viaduct and he gave us some wood to burn.
The bothy itself is basic but neat. It has everything it needs and as a bonus and even has electricity! For all this they friendly ask for something in their donation box, so bring some cash :)
Disadvantage is the fact that it is close to society. Often some late 'drops ins' from the last train in at Glennfinnan train station. Not a bothy to be alone in ;)

Very easy reachable bothy if you need to stay over the night. One big minus is - it is easy to reach :) In season it is very crowded and if you'll get here too late, youre sleeping outside. Second tip - even if you planning to stay in bothy, carry your tent just in case it will happend.
