Craig Bothy

Our take

Craig is the bothy for people who want to be alone. The Road to the Isles is minutes from the trailhead but nobody walks up here. The hills are modest, the views are good, and the solitude is genuine.

Getting there

From the A830 near Lochailort, follow estate tracks then rough paths north into the hills. The approach is straightforward but the final section is pathless. Allow 2 hours.

What to expect inside

Small MBA bothy in fair condition with a fireplace and space for 4. Basic but functional. The isolation means you are unlikely to share with anyone.

Nearby hills & attractions

The Moidart hills are directly above. Loch Morar — Britain's deepest freshwater loch — is accessible to the north. The Road to the Isles passes the trailhead.

When to visit

Accessible year-round via the good approach road. The hills above are modest and manageable in most conditions. Summer midges can be fierce in the sheltered glen.
