Rowchoish bothy on the
West Highland Way will be closed for the weekend 26 – 28th November due to filming. The bothy, which is situated on the east shore of Loch Lomond north of Rowardennan is a popular overnight spot for walkers tackling the West Highland Way. The bothy is found located on a rougher lochside path which is bypassed by many long distance walkers who are not planning to visit the bothy as the main West Highland Way route follows a much easier, if less scenic, section of forestry track at that point.
The bothy, which is maintained by volunteers from the Mountain Bothy Association, was originally a byre for a cottage which remained occupied until the late 1930’s. Now, a fairly isolated spot, back in 1759 there were nine families living around Rowchoish with at least three more settlements between there and Inversnaid.
