Partly verified The guide is sourced, but some details still lack reliable current evidence.

Approach

From Glenfinnan, follow the minor road and estate track north beneath the viaduct and into Glen Finnan. Corryhully is beside the track about 3.6km from the public road and normally takes around one hour on foot. The route is also used by walkers heading towards Glen Dessary. The building belongs to Glenfinnan Estate rather than the MBA. Check estate notices during the stalking season and do not assume that the estate road permits public vehicle access.

History

Corryhully was a shepherd's cottage by the nineteenth century. The first-edition Ordnance Survey map of 1876 shows two roofed buildings, enclosures and cultivated ground at the site. Its contemporary Name Book describes a single-storey thatched house occupied by a shepherd. Historic Environment Scotland recorded the surviving cottage as a twentieth-century bothy and notes the associated sheepfolds beside it.
