Cairngorm bothy reportedly goes up in smoke after bothyers leave fire unattended - one to miss over the festive season then.
If you were counting on a spot of bothying in the Cairngorms over the festive season, you might want to cross Bob Scott's bothy off your list.
According to the BBC and OM member Mark Fraser, the hut - on the Mar Lodge Estate near Braemar - has burned down. The BBC reports that the occupants left a fire unattended and returned to find everything toasted nicely.
