Strabeg Bothy

LOCATION LAT/LONG 58.4249, -4.7562, NC 391 518, LR Map 9
In this crowded isle, only on the far north coast of Scotland could you stay the night in a well-maintained, freely available farmhouse that feels like a retreat yet is barely a mile from the main road. Welcome to Strabeg! Bedding down for the night, you might contemplate a morning wander up through the protected native woodland of oak, alder, birch and rowan that hugs the steep quartzite crags above your accommodation, or, if you are feeling suitably inspired, plan an ascent of the rugged peaks that lie to the W. En route, you are unlikely to meet a soul, and you may catch a glimpse of a golden eagle patrolling the skies.
