The bothy is the latest of around 100 remote huts. The building was completely renovated in 2022 and officially opened as a shelter for walkers in January 2023. It has one room with bunk beds and one room with benches and a fireplace. There is also a separate outhouse with toilets. Geldie Burn is close by and you have a magnificient view over the Cairngorms. Enjoy your stay!

Hiking

The derelict building was renovated by the Mountain Bothies Association. It even has toilets. Great for many hillwalking, gravel riding and other mountain adventures.
It is good practice to carry your rubbish out. Follow the mountain Bothy code and check latest information here: mountainbothies.org.uk

Mountain biking

A few years ago, this bothy was a ruin, but it has since been renovated and is now a wonderful place to stay. It has two rooms, one filled with bunk beds, and a stove to keep warm. Just outside the bothy flows the Geldie Burn River, providing fresh water. There's even a newly built toilet block right behind the bothy, courtesy of the MBA and Mar Lodge Estate.
