The Lookout
Grid Ref: LR 23: NG 413 763 | Location: North West Highlands and Islands
Bothy small, no fireplace or stove, no drinking water at bothy or on the headland, but water may be obtained at Trotternish Art Gallery, Solitote NG 428 742. Please park at the Aird NG 437 749. Beware of steep cliff face in front of bothy.
Historical Note. The Lookout is a former coastguard watch station. The front part of the building -the watchroom- was built in 1928 by Macleans of Mull. It is equipped with a large bay window enjoying commanding views out over the Minch. Over the years, advances in radio communication meant that the building was no longer required for its original purpose and it has been a bothy since the mid-70's. It was taken over by the MBA in 2006 and renovated in memory of David J J Brown.
