Bothy closed following wall collapse

The chimney stack of Faindouran Lodge bothy has collapsed resulting in significant damage to the roof and walls of the building. The bothy – situated in a very remote location at NJ 081062 near the head of Glen Avon in the Cairngorms, is currently in a dangerous condition. It should not be used. We hope to make a site visit as soon as possible to assess the damage. In the meantime, with the agreement of the estate, the adjacent Pony Shed (c. 20 yards from the main lodge) can be used as accommodation.

The bothy – which is on Inchrory Estate – is maintained by the volunteers of the Mountain Bothy Association. Updated information will be posted on the MBA website.
