As remote as it gets. Knoydart is the remotest part of Scotland, while Sourlies is one of the remotest named places in Knoydart. It’s a good few hours walk in from Inverie, but hiring a boat in, now that would be an idea!
Dulyn Bothy
This bothy, in the wilds of the Carneddau, can be busy. It’s spacious, but often full as it’s reasonably convenient to get to.
