A short pictorial history of Tunskeen Bothy

   Tunskeen was in use as a shepherd's cottage until the 1930s.

    The cottage was abandoned after the war and soon fell into disrepair until 1965 when the newly-formed Mountain
     Bothies Association took it on as their first renovation project.

    It remained as a small bothy until...

    it was practically rebuilt in 1999

    into the larger, improved bothy which we see today.
