Anyone been in recently? Thinking about a visit and wondering if is still watertight as I have read it is no longer being maintained.

May be going the way of other bothies that are no longer with us. Thinking of the ones I've used that are gone off the top of my head there is Blackburn of Pattack (burned down) Glasahoile, Loch Katrine (demolished) Sinclair Hut, Larig Gruh (demolished) but it was a damp cold concrete hovel anyway.

As far as I know it's still basically watertght and useable. But as you say, no longer being maintained.

I;ve not seen any recent reports though.

I've heard unconfirmed reports it's beginning to fall into disrepair, with one room now leaking and damp. :?
