Bothy
Staoineag
Another train-access bothy near Corrour Station, sitting above Loch Treig in the shadow of the Grey Corries. Less well-known than A' Chuil but equally rewarding.

Our take
Staoineag is the quieter alternative to A' Chuil for Corrour train-access bothy nights. The walk-in is slightly rougher but the setting above Loch Treig is wilder. Combine with Stob Coire Easain for a superb weekend — train in Friday, bothy overnight, bag the Munro Saturday, train home Sunday.
Getting there
From Corrour Station, follow the track west along the north shore of Loch Ossian, then head northwest on a rough path to the bothy above Loch Treig. Allow 1–1.5 hours from the station.
Nearest parking: Corrour Station (train only)
What to expect inside
Well-maintained MBA bothy with a fireplace and sleeping platforms for 8. Two rooms. Good condition. The views over Loch Treig to the Mamores are excellent from the door.
Nearby hills & attractions
Stob Coire Easain (1,115m) and Stob a' Choire Mheadhoin (1,105m) rise above. Loch Treig stretches south. Corrour Station cafe is seasonal but welcome. Beinn na Lap is the nearest easy Munro.
When to visit
Train access makes this viable year-round. Winter conditions on the surrounding Munros require full equipment. The exposed position above Loch Treig means wind can be fierce.
