Please contact the estate if using the bothy between 1 September and 20 October. Use only wood supplied, Glenfeshie Estate, 01540 651 212. The toilet is in the adjacent building; please follow instructions for its use and ensure that it is left clean.
Historical note: Ruigh Aiteachain bothy is sometimes incorrectly referred to as Landseer's bothy. It was certainly in this area that Sir Edwin Landseer, the noted English painter, watched and studied red deer for his most famous painting of a stag, the Monarch of the Glen. However, it was in an adjacent building, now ruined, and not the present bothy, that he drew his preliminary sketches, including a fresco above the fireplace.
