The clang of the bothy door, the whistle of wind through the glen, and absolutely nothing else for miles — Riasg sits in true mountain refuge territory, stripped back to the essentials.

This is one for hillwalkers, scramblers, and anyone who wants to earn their sleep after a proper day on the fells. Tent pitches are available alongside alpine hut accommodation, so you can choose your level of shelter depending on weather and ambition. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, and the remote UK setting means you're here for the landscape, not the amenities — come prepared and self-sufficient.

Campfires are permitted but check the current policy on arrival, especially during dry spells. Facilities are minimal by design — this is off-grid, year-round access for those who know what they're doing. Expect midges in summer, big skies, and the kind of quiet that resets your head. Pack everything in, pack everything out, and you'll have the mountains more or less to yourself.
