Eastern Highlands · Cairngorms
1930s shooting bothy on Inshriach NNR (NatureScot). No open fire — conservation restriction, do not chop wood. Near Aviemore, Cairngorms.
Use the main Invereshie and Inshriach National Nature Reserve entrance at Allt Ruadh, reached from the minor road between Feshiebridge and Inshriach. Follow reserve tracks and paths south into the forest, then towards the open ground by the bothy. Take a map because paths are not all waymarked and forestry work can alter local routes. No fire is permitted and wood must not be cut or collected.
