The clatter of a burn tumbling down the corrie and the whistle of wind across open moorland – these are the sounds that define Coire Fionnaraich. This remote mountain bothy sits deep in the Scottish Highlands, offering genuine wilderness shelter where stone walls meet endless sky and the only light after dark comes from stars or your headtorch.
This is for self-sufficient hillwalkers and wild campers seeking true remoteness rather than creature comforts. The bothy provides basic shelter in challenging terrain, accessible only by foot across rugged Highland landscape. It's classic bothy territory: bring everything you need, leave no trace, and embrace the mountain experience on its own terms.
The bothy operates year-round under the Mountain Bothies Association ethos – first come, first served, with space for a handful of people. Pitch your tent nearby if the hut is full. Dogs are generally welcome but check current guidance. Campfires depend on local conditions, so assess responsibly on arrival. No facilities, no mobile signal, no shortcuts – just you, the mountains, and shelter from the storm.
Add a single landscape photo from your trip — pitch, view, sunset, anything but people. We’ll add it to the gallery after a quick moderation check.
