ダンフリースアンドギャロウェーの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ6

Burleywhag has two main rooms, one is currently being reconstructed by the MBA (September 2025). The main room has a multi fuel stove, and a sleeping annex (sleeps 4 comfortably). Walk in from Mitchellslacks is around 1 hour (5km) on good paths. There is a well constructed bridge outside Burleywhag, which stood up well to Storm Amy, but the water was coming over the top when the river was in spate. As always with bothies, leave them as you find them. Tidy up and respect the space and don’t leave rubbish. If you are using a bothy, consider becoming a member of the MBA or donating. https://www.mountainbothies.org.uk/

The bench is no longer there. There was a swallows nest in the room to left of door so try not to disturb it. Beautiful views from it and neighbouring burn

I’ve seen this bothy on YouTube via:#thehappyhippie & a few others & although I won’t be lucky enough to visit myself my adventurous seester just might so would like some more info. I’ve seen some, what one hiker called, “poltergeist” activity caught on video. Strange activity has been reported ranging from: anxious feelings overnight caused by noises that make the visitor feel like someone else might be arriving all the way up to furniture actually moving on its own but it seems like the level of activity you get depends on the weather &/or your beliefs since the people hearing noises didn’t really claim to be “believers” but the ones who saw furniture moving most definitely were + there was a furious storm raging outside making it an even harder choice for leaving & getting soaked or staying & getting scared, lol. Not trying to poke fun or anything but should me seester decide to explore that area again I’m pretty sure it’s something she’d be interested in so would like some more info about the shepherd who built it or if perhaps there’s any “local” type of story that might give a potential reason for the things people have actually caught on camera?!? Regardless I’d like to thank everyone for sharing whatever you can since this is how we, as siblings, tend to spend time together… I do the research and she enjoys the travel & if you knew us growing up you’d have thought it be the other way around but life doesn’t always go as you’d hoped but I will say this much, as both of us are avid believers in the idea that just because it’s unexplainable doesn’t make it impossible & paranormal is possible because in this life we’ve learned one thing for certain & that is that at the end of the day… “stranger things have happened!” Thanks again for sharing & remember: Bsmart+Bsafe=Bhappy!! TTFN ✌🏼

This is a fantastic wooden building left open for use as a bothy to anyone in need if shelter. It makes a great stop off for a night on a bikepacking adventure

Bothy to stay in if you want to spend a night or shelter from weather

2024 update: There's no windows or doors, but there's a roof that looks pretty solid. Use at your own risk, of course 🙏

Lovely little bothy in the forest. It even has a compost toilet in the form of a little shed set away from the shelter. It has three rooms and an outdoor seating area.

This is a great little bothy with two rooms, both with fireplaces and sleeping platforms for a cozy night. The setting is superb too by the burn in the woods
