Our take
Strabeg is a Cape Wrath Trail overnight — function over beauty. It does the job between Kinlochbervie and the north coast. Not the finest bothy in Scotland, but you will be glad of it after a day on the Sutherland peat.
Getting there
From Rhiconich, follow rough paths north across moorland. Allow 2 hours. The terrain is typical Sutherland peat.
Nearest parking: Rhiconich on the A838
What to expect inside
Small MBA bothy in fair condition with a fireplace and space for 4. Popular with Cape Wrath Trail walkers.
Nearby hills & attractions
Sandwood Bay is west. Cape Wrath is to the north. The north coast of Sutherland stretches east to Durness.
When to visit
Best May–September. MOD firing range at Cape Wrath may affect nearby access. Winter days are very short.
