Lynaberack, loved but locked

The last remaining building of Lynaberack seems well looked after and the recently cut grass in front suggests that it is in use as well as in good condition. However a couple cycling down the glen from the Pass of Gaick a few minutes behind me arrived hoping to find it was in use as a bothy and were disappointed that it was locked. No doubt tourist visitors such as ourselves are inimical to the shooting interests and mid-September is still in the partial annihilation season for grouse. Maybe in some utopian future it will be in use as accommodation for eco-tourists coming in hope of seeing the wildcats, beavers, lynx, wolves and bears... one can but hope.
