Hello,

Is anyone able to tell me if the Lairig Leacach bothy at the base of Stob Ban has a working stove?

Cheers!

In reply to petestack: does it ? Didn't notice one last year Maybe I was distracted by mighty mouse racing laps around the place

Sure it did at least last time I passed (a fortnight ago), with a small pile of fresh-split kindling/small stuff sitting right next to it. But can't confirm it works because I'm typically just passing by and have never stopped the night there.

Funny looking bothy. Looks like half of it is missing.

It was hideously damp inside last time I was there

The bothy has a working stove, repaired last year (after a short removal period)

In reply to richard marshall: Thank you for that. I dont feel quite so senile now knowing that the stove was removed for a while

Yep, its a reasonable stove. After having it going one winter trip for the better part of 2 evenings, it finally raised the inside temperature from 2c to 4c. Mind you, we had had to dig through snow and ice for water, it was pretty chilly. Unfortunately this defrosted the floor and, seemingly, the mice, who only came out on the second night but are extremely cheeky!
