Coire Fionnaraich
Vehicle parking There is a car parking area just over the bridge close to start of the public footpath to the bothy. Can bothy users please avoid parking on the intake or entrance-way to the locked gate. By doing so we are placing at risk the excellent relationship with the estate and local crofters. Thank you Historical Note Coire Fionnaraich Bothy was built in the nineteenth century as a stalkers cottage. An entry in the bothy book from 1989, by a Mr D McKenzie, mentions a pre-war visit when he helped the stalker cut peats. Sadly, the stalker, Duncan Maclennan, who was a sniper in the Seaforth Highlanders, was killed at Dunkirk. The cottage was renovated for use as a bothy in 1986 and is an ideal stopping off place for hill walkers tackling the peaks of the Coulin Forest. This bothy is listed by the Mountain Bothies Association in the North West Highlands and Islands area of Scotland.
