Hut Finder Now there's no excuse for not finding the hut and heading for that B&B instead ........... Quotable quotes......Inspired by a heady brew, he had stoked the stove to an unprecedented red-hotness, forgetting that his blankets were in the oven. MacAlpine debated whether to confess their incineration to the hut custodian or to claim more plausibly that (J.H.B.) Bell had eaten them for breakfast. Bill Murray, recounting trouble in the CIC Hut even in 1938.

Off A82 on the White Corries
chairlift road.
Surely the hut with the remotest
location in
Scotland, in a truly magnificent setting. Either dare to cross The Bad Step, on
the walk in via Camusunary, or more sensibly take a boat (The Misty Isle) from
Elgol.
Intimate with a walk-in from
Victoria Bridge. Bring coal and karrimats
Five star accommodation with
slippers at the door.
Nestling beneath Liathach the
skies are the limits.
A cute hut that is ideally
situated for Glencoe, Glen Nevis, the Mamores and Ben Nevis.
1 mile from Kincraig on the
road to Insh.
Turn off A9 to Kincraig and
take road to Feshiebridge and Glen Feshie.
With the original bellows still
in operation all that club hot air is guaranteed to circulate.
With limited vehicular access
having a mountain-bike is a good idea.
