Oban Bothy

This remote bothy is now maintained as a shelter by the Mountain Bothies Association.It is kept locked during the stalking season from mid August to late October but otherwise is open for all to use. Located at the E end of Loch Morar access is either by boat or walking through Gleann Pean, the most rugged of highland glens. In the 1891 census there were 8 people living here. The loch, the deepest in Scotland at 1,077 feet is 11 miles in length and reputed to be the home of Morag, a rival monster to Nessie!
