The Charles Inglis Clarke Memorial Hut (usually referred to as the CIC Hut) is an alpine-style mountain hut in the shadow of Ben Nevis' immense North Face. Owned by the Scottish Mountaineering Club, it gives mountaineers quick access to the many excellent routes on the face. It was built in 1928 by the parents of Charles Inglis Clark, who was killed during the First World War. Surprisingly given its location, there are 26 alpine beds, a full kitchen, a composting toilet and even a drying room. It's possible to stay at the hut, but advanced booking is essential as it is very popular, particularly in winter.

January 29, 2023, Ben Alder Cottage Bothy

Also known as 'McCook's Cottage', Ben Alder Cottage is a remote bothy set below Ben Alder and above Loch Ericht. Sleeping up to six people (it's worth taking a tent so you can wild camp nearby if it's full when you arrive) it has a wood-burning stove, although residents must supply their own firewood. This bothy has a colourful history, having been used by ghillies (servents/attendants on shoots), stalkers, fishermen, walkers and poachers over the years. It's also said to be haunted...
