Our take
The Schoolhouse is a roomy, unheated building deep in Strath Mulzie — the base for Seana Bhraigh rather than a place to sit by a fire. Bring warm kit and keep to the estate tracks in the stalking season.
Getting there
From Oykel Bridge on the A837, a long estate track up Strath Mulzie leads to the bothy at Duag Bridge. During the stalking season (1 Sep–20 Oct) the estate asks visitors to keep to the main estate tracks (MBA). The MBA does not publish a walk-in distance.
