conversations.value: The Book of the Bothy
  Despite the draughty building, the resident mice and the endless hot drinks I had to make in an attempt to warm up, I spent a happy night in the depths of the Balmoral estate. By moonlight I wandered across the footpath and tried to peer into the nearby cirque of the mountain that rises crown-like from the moorland below. It appeared only as a dark outline, but here I stayed a little.
  As I retreated to the bothy, the cold of a nightime air seeming to accompany me inside, I jumped into my sleeping bag and began to will myself to sleep. I felt my eyelids grow heavy, the warmth of the insulation snuggling me like an old friend. Let the Queen keep her fort-like lodge next door. For I wouldn't trade places. Here in my own castle, in this stately landscape, I felt very much like royalty.
  Classic: From the car park at Crathie turn left to go down the road towards Balmoral Castle. If conditions allow (that is, if the Queen is not home) go through the gate and follow the road round, then turn left. Continue on the road round to Easter Balmoral and turn right, then shortly after the last house you'll see a faint path leading up to a gate in the fence on your left. Go through it into the woodland. Track steadily uphill first to Princess Beatrice's Cairn and then, after a further climb, up to the pyramid that makes up Prince Albert's Cairn. From there follow the path as it descends and soon joins the main 4x4 track. Continue on it out from the cover of trees until the path forks – go right. At the next fork go left, and shortly after you'll reach the bothy.
  The estate prefers people not to camp outside the bothy, so unless it's full refrain from doing so. There are also restrictions on access during royal visits – in particular around the shooting season (1 September to 20 October) – so call first to check the situation during this time (01339 742534).
  More ascent: To add some interest before you go to sleep, take the same route in but go past the bothy to take the track up to Lochnagar. Whether you stick to a visit to the water of the same name, or opt to pack in the metres with a visit to the very top, one thing's for sure – you'll deserve your shelter by the time you reach the bothy again.

conversations.value: The sound of them laughing and banging around lasted until easily 4am, but in my own warm room, dry and safe from the elements, knowing that in this world human kindness can come in the most unexpected of places, I slept soundly.
  Classic: It looks simple enough on the map, but in reality this is a long, potentially hard-going walk (especially in bad weather). From the car park at Kylestrome take the well-defined track that skirts alongside Loch Gleann Dubh all the way to another bothy – Glendhu (a possible Plan B option if the weather is bad). From there follow the path to the footbridge to cross the small stream. Here the path disappears. Don't worry; follow the shoreline around, and after crossing the outflow of two smaller streams you should begin to see a rough path heading steadily uphill as it traces west. Follow it and climb to a 205m highpoint. From here you now track southeast, first heading slightly uphill then beginning a steady descent towards Loch Glencoul. You'll need to cross the river as the footbridge marked on the map has been washed away – do not attempt if in spate. The bothy sits beyond the outbuildings, in front of the main house.
  The Eas a' Chual Aluinn is said to be one of the highest-drop waterfalls in the Britain. With a fall of 200m, it's actually three times higher than Canada and America's Niagara Falls.
  Challenging: Just south of Kylesku is a car park at Loch na Gainmhich. Take the track that skirts the loch then follows Allt Loch Bealach a' Bhuirich. Stick with it past the loch of the same name, then follow it above Eas a' Chual Aluinn waterfall. Do not attempt to descend here, but instead stick to your path that leads you down to Abhainn an Loch Bhig. Then it's a case of picking your own way down towards Loch Beag and the bothy at Glencoul. This is an extremely tough route, both navigationally and due to the terrain – take care if crossing rivers and watch out for peat bogs underfoot. Walking poles strongly advised.
  Terrain | Clear, wide path to start that turns rockier on the approach to Glendhu. From there the path is much fainter and narrower; it gets very rocky and then boggy. A potentially dangerous river crossing to get to the bothy, so care is needed.
