Culra Bothy beneath Ben Alder


Culra Bothy beneath Ben Alder April 2006.

One of my favourite Mountain Bothies is Culra Bothy nestling beneath the mighty Ben Alder. I've been lucky enough to be there in all weathers, but April 2006 takes some beating as you can see from some of the photographs.

It can be reached from many different routes, but I like the track up the River Pattack past roaring waterfalls and drifts of Scots Pine. I would recommend that anyone planning to climb the munros should use the Bothy as a base and enjoy some time in this fantastic environment.

April 2010 saw mixed weather with much snow still on the munros. The stove, supplied by the late Chris Brasher gave us all the warmth we needed though! Thanks to the Mountain Bothies Association for maintaining this valuable shelter.
