\"\"The Mountain Bothies Association (MBA) says that Gleann Dubh-Lighe bothy in the west highlands of Scotland has been burnt down. Highlands and Islands Fire and Rescue Service has confirmed that they attended an incident in the early hours of 31 August and that the building has been totally destroyed. <\/p>\n

The MBA says that it is too early to say whether the bothy will be rebuilt, but that walkers should take note that there is no bothy in Gleann Dubh-Lighe at the moment.<\/p>\n

Gleann Dubh-lighe bothy is situated on Fassfern estate west of Fort William. It has been maintained as an open shelter by the MBA since 2005. The bothy is usually accessed from the A830 just east of Glenfinnan and was passed on the walk out from Streap<\/a>. The MBA intends to issue further updates on the future of the bothy when the situation is clearer.<\/p>\n
