The crunch of boots on mountain paths and the distant call of ravens mark your arrival at this remote wilderness retreat, where the scent of pine and peat hangs in the Highland air. Glenlicht House offers something rare: a genuine mountain bothy experience in the Kyle region, perched in the rugged landscapes where civilisation feels wonderfully distant.

This is for self-reliant adventurers and wild campers who relish solitude and the elements. The wilderness hut provides basic shelter for those tackling multi-day treks or seeking an authentic bothy experience, while tent pitches allow you to sleep truly immersed in the Highlands. You'll need to check policies on arrival regarding campfires and dogs, so come prepared to enquire.

Open year-round, Glenlicht House embraces the full spectrum of Scottish seasons—from summer's endless twilight to winter's star-bright nights. Facilities are deliberately minimal; this is wilderness camping as it should be, stripped back to essentials. The vibe is pure mountain refuge: unpolished, atmospheric, and gloriously uncommercialised.
