A bothy in Glen Tilt south of Blair Atholl. Shorter than the walk to Tarf Hotel and useful as a first-night stop on the Minigaig pass route.

Our take

Getting there
From Old Bridge of Tilt, follow the track north through Glen Tilt. Allow 1.5 hours on excellent estate tracks.
Nearest parking: Old Bridge of Tilt, Blair Atholl

MBA bothy in good condition with fireplace and space for 4. The Glen Tilt setting is beautiful.
