A stunning part of the Highlands, accessible via a long walk along Loch Hourn or on the Cape Wrath Trail. It's a fine base camp for adventures up Ladhar Bheinn, one of Scotland's greatest mountains. There's an estate bothy and campsite here, with toilets and drinking water too. The use of the facilities incurs a small charge.

A stunning bay in one of the most remote parts of the Scottish Highlands, Barrisdale is a site of pristine views and enjoyable walks.

At Barisdale, there's a "luxury" bothy (running water and flushing toilet, £5 in the honesty box), and a camping ground with access to the bothy facilities
