NM98SW 24 NM 91299 84400
This shepherd’s cottage, now used as a bothy, is situated 3.6km NNE of the public road at Glenfinnan and about 390m SE of Glenfinnan Lodge. A subdivided drystone enclosure lies 26m SW of the bothy and an older one of turf and stone is located 80m to the E (at NM 9144 8440).
Corryhully is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map as two roofed buildings (one of which is probably the bothy), three enclosures and two patches of cultivated ground (Inverness-shire, sheet cxxiii, 1876). The contemporary OS Name Book describes Corryhully as ‘a one storey thatched house occupied by a shepherd’ (Inverness-shire Book No. 13, p.65).
