The Club Cottage: Newton Cottage, Torridon

The club cottage in Torridon is well appointed and suitable for longer breaks or family holidays. It is only open to members.

There are threebedrooms, two with three beds and one with four beds, and a boxroom with one bed. Downstairs, the lounge has several armchairs and a solid fuel stove and in the new extension are two showers and toilets, a drying room and the large kitchen area. The kitchen is well equipped and has great views out to Liathach and is a pleasant place to sit and talk on the rare (!) occasions when midges and rain keep you indoors in the evening.

Liathach and the web of stalking paths south of the cottage which lead to Sgorr Ruadh, Maol Chean Dearg and Beinn Damh are all in walking distance of the cottage.

Beinns Alligin and Eighe are just a short drive up the glen. The cottage is only bookable by club members.

The Club Hut: Glen Etive

The club hut in Glen Etive, Inbhirfhaolain, is a basic but comfortable climbing hut, sleeping 13 upstairs on a double sleeping platform, supplied with mattresses.

Downstairs has a large dining table, chairs and a bench with several armchairs and a solid fuel stove, the newly refurbished porch can also be used as a drying area and there is an attached kitchen with electric stoves and a fridge.

Water must be carried from the nearby Fhaolain River and there is a composting toilet next door with great views to Beinn Starav (if the door is left open!). The hut is well placed for Glencoe and the Etive hills with easy access to great walking and rock climbing and is open to members and other clubs affiliated to the MCofS and the BMC and is in considerable demand at weekends so very early booking is advised.

Inbhirfhaolain is listed in the MCoS Huts list and details of contact are there. Evidence of membership of BMC and or MCoS affiliation ( via a Club or individual membership) is essential-if only for insurance purposes. Bookings cannot be accepted otherwise.
