Probable still bothy (NOSAS site survey number 813) is located in the hills 3kms N of Achlorachan beyond the watershed, some 100m S of Loch a’Choire Leith.
This structure is in the location of the “smuggling bothy” marked on the plan produced in connection with a murder case of 1834 (NAS RHP 140009).
Further details of these and other associated sites can be found in the Strathconon Phase 3 Report (pages 41 & 55) produced by the North of Scotland Archaeology Society and appended to this record.
