Full Description
Bothy still in use, measuring 6m x 3.6m. Originally built in circa 1877 to house a deer watcher during the stalking season, it was abandoned in 1920 and quickly became used by hillwalkers as a refuge instead. Storm damage took its toll and the first renovation occurred in 1950 by members of the Cairngorm Club. In 2006 the bothy was reconstructed once again with the inclusion of a wooden floor, wall lining and a small sleeping platform. In addition, a small extension was added containing a composting toilet. RCHAMS survey 1995 recorded the remains of a hut with stone-footings, which is set into the grassy slope a short distance south-east of the present hut.
