Geldie Burn Ford

Highlight • River

Because two rivers meet here, the passage is wider than most other rivers at the top of Glen Tilt and Mar Lodge Estate. I was here in July and could only cycle halfway across the river. The outer bend, as usual, was deep and had a strong current, forcing me to walk with my bike on my shoulders.

The bothy is the latest of around 100 remote huts. The building was completely renovated in 2022 and officially opened as a shelter for walkers in January 2023. It has one room with bunk beds and one room with benches and a fireplace. There is also a separate outhouse with toilets. Geldie Burn is close by and you have a magnificient view over the Cairngorms.

Bob Scott's Bothy

Highlight • Rest Area

Bob Scott's Bothy is on the Mar Lodge Estate and open for use by all. The bothy is fashioned from stone and wood with a tin roof and features a multifuel stove. The bothy will comfortably fit a dozen or so and is one of the most popular in the Cairngorms.
