I Couldn’t Sleep In Scotlands Most Haunted Bothy

[@TheMcDermottFiles]

Back in late 80s my mate told me about the time he went with his Dad's mates to a bothy they helped restore around Loch Lyon. It's a big bothy with 2 bedrooms upstairs, no carpets just wooden floors. He was downstairs in the living room area putting wood in the stove when he heard someone coming down the stairs in boots, it's walled so you can't see who it is until they reach the bottom. As the footsteps reached the bottom he happened to look outside and see his Dad's mates all down by the Loch edge, he bolted out the door absolutely crapping himself. There was nobody else in the bothy, they checked it over. He lives in South Africa now and still talks about it.

[@Hrossey]

Hold on. He talks about what exactly? You’ve no mentioned what he saw. Was it his uncle John dressed up in his maws fancies 🏳️‍🌈 Was it a dwarf wae 9 foreheads? Was it Ron Jeremy with no lube? Will we ever know what he saw? You say he still talks about it. If he talks about it, why don’t we know what it is?

[@CalumMacNeil-qb6wp]

PAR FOR THE COURSE. I'VE LIVED AND WORKED IN MANY HAUNTED PROPERTIES IN SCOTLAND. JUST ANOTHER DAY AT THE OFFICE.👻💪👍

[@CalumMacNeil-qb6wp]

WELL i could tell you dozens of spooky encounters in old buildings I've worked in. Mostly Scotland. Some of it is unbelievable.The tv documentaries about spooky activity makes me laugh and switch it off. First hand experience is the best. I've just got so used to it. It dosent bother me now. 😔👍

[@TheMcDermottFiles]

@CalumMacNeil-qb6wp agreed, I much prefer hearing first hand experiences

[@lata8374]

Hey i just seen your comment on the other video. I believe it lol I’m scared being alone at home I have cats so I can be like “it was the cats “ 😂 i believe something going on in that bothy. And i believe ppl might have did something to make it like that years ago but stay safe and never go alone 😊

[@roseybeesley4110]

You didn’t let the viewers down. Your video was brilliant. Well done you and thank you for taking us along. 👍👏😁

No worries at all, glad you enjoyed the video😊

Clearly you were meant for that view instead. Spectacular. 😍✨✨✨ thanks for sharing.

[@angelforceforyou]

The morning view of the clouds rolling over the hillside into the water was heavenly! It’s like something out of a fantasy. Scotland is a magical place

[@jessicamadsen7092]

The scenery there is absolutely stunning. I’m from America and I visited Scotland for the first time in September of 2022. I loved it so much, I couldn’t believe how beautiful it was and I would literally do anything to be able to go back. Never take for granted that you live in such a beautiful place. ❤ I also love the fact that Scotland has so many ruins and castles that have stood for hundreds of years; here when a building gets old, it just gets torn down and replaced with something new. Kind of sad. If I’m able to go back in a few years, I would love to go for a hike with my husband and spend a night in a bothy. That sounds fun. 😊

[@Pappy207]

Scotland is so beautiful. Lovely views.

[@LaoSoftware]

Enjoy the beauty of nature. I love camping and hiking outdoors. The air is so fresh and clean. The peace and quiet. No people. No cars. No noise. Just birds singing and wind blowing the leaves.

[@lewiswatkin392]

This just came up in my recommended mate. It was great meeting you at the bothy. I've never seen a man hike as fast as you on the way back. Looking forward to seeing the future adventures.

[@ScottishSummiteer]

Was great to meet you mate. Enjoyed sitting by the fire. All the best😊

[@richardnunn2262]

stayed at that both many years ago in mid winter . We were a party of three and two of us climbed Ben Alder the following morning in deep snow and a cloudless blue sky. Memories that have stayed with me for ever.

[@michaelsmith2759]

You have a wicked eye for the lens. Each of your shots are set up perfectly. Plus you match it with a perfect storyline. It puts me in the backcoutry, which I miss. Keep it up.

[@ScottishSummiteer]

Mate, you’re too kind. Thanks for the support, really means a lot to me. All the best 😊

[@ScotTrekDude]

Spent two nights on my own in Ben Alder cottage .I heard scuttling and scraping which I put down to mice behind and below the wood panelling.What did freak the bejasus out of me was the uncurtained window. It was a bright clear mid spring night .Ended up sitting a chair with my waterproof jacket on it on a table in front of it so I wouldn't see the muckle Bogle Man staring in at me.

[@suzyqualcast6269]

It's when day light returns along with dreamless consciousness and regarding the rattle behind the wood panelling you realise there's nae wood paneling even there, just rocks n stones....

[@una6293]

No apologies needed . You got to the Bothy and got the camera inside to give us a look. Stunning scenery and sunrise - great video, keep them coming please

[@jannibc]

How could you let us down? We watch from the US and just enjoy your calm demeanor and stunning videography. The morning views of the loch could’ve never been captured from the bothy, Keep filming exactly as you are, and we’ll keep watching!

Oh my gosh I've never seen anything like that...the clouds coming down and over the water how amazing. Just found your channel....I'm an Aussie, but my ancestors are from Kent, London and Scotland and Ireland. I would so love to go to Scotland, I love the accent and the country looks so beautiful. I love our hot Aussie weather and hate the cold, but it would be worth it to come to Scotland. Thanks for your beautiful images....xx

We call those winds that blow the cloud/fog over the hills like that "Barber" winds in New Zealand, and they cut right through you with the cold, as you probably know from your ventures. Another great video Gregor, keep them coming

Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it

[@athomeinmyhead]

OMG, that morning shot of the fog on the lake is amazing. I wouldn't worry too much about not getting a slot in the Bothy. I think folks know they're first-come/first-served, and you can't reserve it. It is what it is. That's real life.

This is one thing I've learned over the years: enjoy life as it comes, and try to live in the moment. The past is over, done, you cannot change it so leave it be. The future is yet to happen and generally everything will be OK. The present is now, enjoy it for what it is.

What an adventure, what an experience, what great weather, what beautiful scenery & what an absolute treat Gregor. Although you were disappointed at not being able to stay in the bothy, if you had, you probably wouldn’t have witnessed those spectacular rolling clouds. For me personally that was epic and far better than trying to sleep 😴 in a full bothy full of weird and wonderful spooky noises (and thats just from the others staying there!)😂. Really enjoyable. Thank you. 🤩

Mr. Summiter, I think this is your best cinematography. I loved your reflection in the puddle, the super speed cloud footage, the waving grass, the distance shots of the fire over laid with spooky music. You are really experimenting with new film techniques. Look for class to help you on your way or KZbin. Great job! 👍👏 P.S.

September 19, 2024 Maryland, USA: New to your channel and love the views that you are sharing. Wish you could have stayed in the bothy. I have seen many of them on other channels and so amaazing that bothy’s exist for hikers. There is a love for the land in Europe that extend to trails for hikers that is amazing. What a treasurer. There is also respect by those who use it. Safe journey home. Till we meet again. Love that bridge!

Nice to see that bothy. If push comes to shove, there is plenty of space to squeeze about 20 people in, and the ghosts 👻

Definitely cool to see the other half of what I refer to as the appalachian mountains across the pond over in Scotland. Looks very similar to the ones here in North Carolina.

[@paulannable3734]

Just checking out the Appalachians on Google and I see what you mean, but yours seem to be still heavily wooded. I bet the Scottish highlands were stripped before the US was even a thing.

[@lapoguslapogus7161]

Good video and dood to see the bothy in good condition. It turns out that most of the stories about it being haunted were made up by the local keeper back in the early/mid 20th century. However, I sayed there a few nights in the early 90s, on a canoe trip with my father. We slept on the floor in the room on the left, there was no bunk bed then. No stove either, just an open fire. I never saw or heard anything, but was woken up by the fear my father expressed in the middle of the night - he swore that he was woken by an old woman standing over him - which totally freaked him out. Who knows, it could have been a dream, but he was genuinely freaked out by it.

[@suziewong5305]

I watch travel vlogs often and to date i’ve seen 3 different ones all of which visited this bothy and all with unexplained going’s on. Knocking on the doors during the night, disembodied voices and footsteps, doors opening and closing on their own, the fire wood saws on the wall being moved and the kettle being found in various places and a chair shaking before shifting across the room. A ghost, who knows but there’s definitely something not quite right with this place. I’d love to spend a night there but never solo! It sleeps 8-9 more if people are happy to sleep on the floor.

[@diannehardwick950]

A very scenic place which I enjoyed very much. I suppose you didn’t expect people to be out there in such an isolated spot, especially as the bothy has a reputation of being haunted. A very good point made about the necessity to have a backup plan. Extra snacks are a good idea too.
