Our take
Carnmore is base camp for the Fisherfield Six — the ultimate Scottish Munro challenge. The setting beside Fionn Loch with A' Mhaighdean rising behind is the stuff of mountain photography calendars. Allow at least two nights.
Getting there
From Poolewe, follow the path southeast past Kernsary and along the north shore of Fionn Loch. Rough terrain. Allow 3–4 hours.
Nearest parking: Poolewe village
What to expect inside
Spacious MBA bothy with two rooms, fireplace and space for 6. Well-maintained considering the remoteness. A proper basecamp.
Nearby hills & attractions
A' Mhaighdean (967m), Ruadh Stac Mor (919m), Beinn Tarsuinn (936m) and the rest of the Fisherfield Six. Fionn Loch is one of the most beautiful lochs in Scotland.
When to visit
A summer bothy (May–September). The approach is long and weather-dependent. Midges in July are severe at loch level.
