Our take
Resourie sits deep in Glen Hurich’s forestry — a quiet corner of Ardgour that most walkers pass on the way to somewhere else, and the Sunart Corbetts around it are seldom climbed. Carry fuel, keep any fire indoors, and leave the car at the road end.
Getting there
The usual route follows the forestry tracks up Glen Hurich on foot or by bike. Strictly no vehicle access — the MBA asks visitors not to drive on the forestry roads. The MBA does not publish a walk-in distance.

Stalking season / estate access
Red deer stag stalking generally runs from mid-August to 20 October; check locally (e.g. the managing estate or Heading for the Scottish Hills) before visiting in season.
What to expect inside
A wood-burning stove and an open fire (MBA). Be aware of the fire risk to the surrounding plantation: do not light fires outside the bothy. Carry in your own fuel.

When to visit
Best May–September. The forestry approach can be muddy and the felled sections confusing to navigate after storms. Deer stalking in Ardgour requires estate consultation. Winter access is possible but the tracks are exposed.
Wildfire risk — May to October
Dry conditions increase wildfire risk during summer. Never light fires in the open. Use the bothy fireplace only, and ensure it is fully out before you leave.
