Corrour Bothy in October 2009

Corrour Bothy is a simple stone building on Mar Lodge Estate, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

It is located below Coire Odhar between The Devil's Point and Cairn Toul on the western side of the River Dee in the Lairig Ghru.

The bothy is a single room with a fireplace and chimney in its northern gable. Its dimensions are 19.6 ft (6m) by 11.8 ft (3.6m) Шаблон:Harv. There is a toilet in the wooden extension to the building. It is used as a mountain refuge and as a starting point for ascents of Munros including The Devil's Point, Cairn Toul, and Braeriach.

Name

The name Corrour is used as a name for the locality as well as specifically as a name for the bothy itself, the name being derived from Coire Odhar according to Шаблон:Harvp, who continues: Шаблон:Blockquote

In Шаблон:Harvp the author gives the local pronunciation as Corower, but without explanation. However in Шаблон:Harvp the section "Hints on Gaelic pronunciation" appears to suggest the final-vowels of Coire (and corrie) are dropped to give kor, and that the dh in Odhar are silent because they follow a vowel—giving what sounds like kor-Oar, or like the cor-ower suggested in Шаблон:Harvp.

In spite of the earlier work Шаблон:Harvp and his understanding of Gaelic—and its local dialect—Шаблон:Harvp suggest an alternative origin for the place name as a shelter for the Шаблон:Lang, or forester's assistant.

History

In Шаблон:Harvp the author writes that the people of mar used Coirie Odhar as a summer shieling for their cattle in the early part of the nineteenth century, but in the later part "the area was kept clear for deer".

Deer watchers

The original bothy was built in 1877 to house a deer watcher during the summer, and it housed several including Charles Robertson,[1] John Macintosh, and Frank Scott before the estate stopped using the bothy in the 1920s. In Шаблон:Harvp the author gives some detail about its occupation by deer watchers, continuing: Шаблон:Blockquote

An even earlier mention, from 1901, gives an account of passing Corrour Bothy: Шаблон:Blockquote

Open bothy

Later in Шаблон:Harvp the author writes that the last watcher at Corrour Bothy was Frank Scott who left in 1920. After then it then became a 'famous open bothy' with a visitor book being left there in 1928 by the Rucksack Club of University College, Dundee.

In 1949 the bothy was reconstructed by members of the Cairngorm Club, with help from a wide range of individuals and other mountaineering clubs (Шаблон:Harvp, Шаблон:Harv, Шаблон:Harv).

Archaeologically, the site is complicated: close to the bothy there are stones in the ground that appear to have formed part of some earlier construction, perhaps the remains of the summer shieling-huts. In Шаблон:Harvp the authors write that they found "the remains of a hut with stone-footings, which is set into the grassy slope a short distance south-east of the present hut."

Present

In Шаблон:Harvp the author refers to the bothy's origin, its reconstruction in 1949 by the Cairngorm Club, and the fact that it is maintained by the Mountain Bothies Association. The subject of Шаблон:Harv is the acquisition of full planning permission by the Mountain Bothies Association to add an extension to the bothy to house toilet facilities.[2] A composting toilet has been installed in the extension at the south gable end of the bothy.[3]
