サザンアップランズ山脈の山小屋＆キャビン・トップ4

This spacious bothy is a lovely place for a break (for lunch) or an overnight stay. The view of felled forest slopes is a bit depressing, but inside you can cozy up by the fire. More info: www.mountainbothies.org.uk/bothies/southern-scotland/over-phawhope/ Be kind: after your stay, please make a donation to the caretaker. You can do so at www.mountainbothies.org.uk/_donation/

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 ✌🏼

Cracking bothy situated in a perfect place for a coffee!

Here we stand for a week at this nice cottage. It's nature pure. The landlord is very helpful. He is speaking perfect German. He drove with his classic mercedes jeep with us on top of the hills. A beautiful view. Children will love his dog- a golden retriever. 🥰

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

There's a shelter building at this elevated high point. It seemed to be facing into a strong wind with driving rain soaking inside it though

One of my favourite bothies if you don't like roughing it, Over Phawhope is really cosy, with a wood-burning stove and two snug bedrooms with wooden sleeping platforms. Outside there's a stream, picnic table and even a composting loo - luxury!
