I’ve just started visiting bothy as a gentle way to get back into the hills and I have found your vlogs well made, well narrated, well informed and most importantly enjoyable. Thanks for taking the time to share

[@scottishtones]

Thank you very much. Glad to hear you're easing your way back into the hills, too.

[@Pferret_Weasel]

Superb again. Looks like a cracking spot.

[@scottishtones]

Thank you! It was a lovely spot and I reckon I'm going to have to go back in the winter as I reckon it'll be something really special.

Great informative video as usual 👍

[@scottishtones]

Thanks! Got the Vlog to go with it to go up soon as well as the planning one I mentioned before. (Also, the encouragement is much appreciated, so thank you!)

Loved it...

[@scottishtones]

Ah, glad to hear it. The accompanying Vlog will be up soon too while I try to figure out my next one from a growing list of suggestions!

Going back to our wee conversation in another video about Ben A'an having the best climb to view ratio, what Bothy would you say has the best walk-in to view location? Eg for a walk in the evening before with a view to sunrise photography the next day?

[@scottishtones]

From the ones I know, Strabeg would be the answer but it's a Stac Pollaidh kind of answer as it is so far north. I'd then maybe go for Craig Bothy in Torridon - mainly because of the views back down the path to Lower Diabaig are absolutely gorgeous and I did some sunset shots from the car there once and always remember it fondly.
There will be plenty closer by too, these are just the ones that spring to mind and I do tend to go to the slightly further away ones.

@@scottishtones Torridon's not a bad drive for the scenery trade off. I'll check out Craig Bothy. Thanks!
