SRP NOTE

Project Scotland's Rural Past (SRP)

Notes A still bothy (Nosas Site Survey No 587) located on the S side of the River Meig and the NW bank of the Allt an Amise.The remains of a substantial sub-rectangular stone building scarped into the hill-slope measures c4m NE-SW x 2.5m between wall faces which stand to a maximum 0.8m in height and 0.8m thick. The internal corners are square but in the N corner of the back wall there is a sub-circular recess 1.2m x 1.4m with a raised shelf standing c0.4m above the present floor level. The wall at the back of the recess rises to 0.7m above the shelf. This feature is one of the best preserved corner recess/shelf features found so far in a still bothy in Strathconon. At the time of the survey were the remains of collapsed wooden roofing material lying on the floor suggesting some relatively modern re-use of the structure.
