Overview
- She hiked for about two hours across the Ardnish peninsula to reach Peanmeanach, an abandoned village accessible only on foot or by boat.
- The bothy is now secured with padlocks and metal sheeting, with access limited to a single booking per night, which she had reserved.
- Inside, she found a furnished space with wooden seating, a bookcase, a log burner, a guitar, and a simple kitchen with a stove and kettle, plus leftover wine.
- She described sweeping coastal scenery and watched an “incredible” sunset before a cold night and a quiet morning coffee by the shore.
- The building dates to around 1905 for the local school teacher in a former crofting community, and she framed the trip as part of reconnecting with Scotland after years abroad.
