Our take
Kinbreack is for people who want solitude without a 6-hour walk-in. The approach is moderate, the terrain is empty, and the Fannaichs are above. Nobody comes here. That is the appeal.
Getting there
From Strathvaich near Garve, follow estate tracks north then west. Allow 2.5 hours.
Nearest parking: Strathvaich near Garve
What to expect inside
Small MBA bothy in fair condition with a fireplace. Space for 4. Remote and rarely visited.
Nearby hills & attractions
The Fannaichs Munros are to the north. Loch Glascarnoch reservoir is to the east. Destitution Road (the A832) tells a Highland Clearances story.
When to visit
Best May–September. Deer stalking in this area — check with the estate. The terrain is exposed and boggy.
