The Cairngorms form the largest tract of high country in Britain. The scale is monumental. Rugged wildness, long lonely glens, hidden lochs and lochans… It is the at the heart of the Lairig Ghru, on the south side of the summit, at an altitude of 560m/1,800ft, far from any road, that Corrour Bothy is located. Corrour Bothy, the most famous and probably oldest bothy still in use in the world today, sits in a remote area of the Cairngorms National Park. Over the course of over a hundred years it has been a place of refuge, rest and reflection. Visitors to the bothy often used the guestbooks provided in Corrour to put their impressions on paper. Had an amazing chat with three experienced hikers by firelight in an amazing valley. Undoubtedly one of the best experiences of my life. luke, tom, gregory, joe, all 16 years old, 8 july 2016 Fed well despite the look of the food we cooked. Midges also fed well every time we ventured out. 9 august 1939 Ralph Storer has collected these impressions ranging from observations of the 1920s and on through the war years of 1939–45 to the present day, including practical bothy cooking advice and humorous comments on fellow bothy guests. They were rendered in the form of simple entries, poems and drawings. As an ode to the wilderness of the Cairngorms, Corrour Bothy provides an impression of the past century of mountaineering and hillwalking in the area and serves as a timely reminder of why the bothies of the Highlands should be preserved and protected. In his newest publication, Storer concentrates on the history of the Corrour Bothy. The book tells the story of the oldest and most famous bothy in the world, celebrating a century of public use in 2020. The book blends guidebook entries with historical accounts. Through guidebook entries between the years of 1928 and 2019, Storer outlines bothy life, the history of the Highlands, of hillwalking and of climbing and thereby provides a portrait of the past 100 years from a unique perspective centred on the Scottish Highlands.
