Our take
Resourie is deep Sutherland — a place where the quartzite mountains look like they belong on another planet and the emptiness is total. Foinaven from the bothy door is one of the great Scottish mountain views. The walk in weeds out casual visitors. If you like company, go elsewhere.
Getting there
From Achfary on the A838, follow the track east along the south shore of Loch More. The path is reasonable but remote. Allow 2.5 hours. No phone signal for the entire approach.
Nearest parking: Achfary on the A838
What to expect inside
Small MBA bothy with a fireplace and space for 4. Fair condition. The remoteness means it is rarely busy. The setting between two major lochs with Sutherland's quartzite peaks rising on all sides is dramatic.
Nearby hills & attractions
Foinaven (911m) and Arkle (787m) — two of Sutherland's finest mountains — are directly accessible. Loch More and Loch Stack are popular for fishing. The quartzite landscape is geologically unique.
When to visit
Best May–September. The approach is exposed to weather and the terrain is rough. Deer stalking in Reay Forest requires estate consultation. Winter access is possible but challenging.
