Ben Alder from Beinn Bheoil 

Ben Alder is the highest
 Loch Ericht and Glen Spean.
 It is the 25th highest Munro
 and due to its remote location,
 is one of the less frequently visited.
 Situated 19km from Dalwhinnie
and 15km from Corrour railway station,
 it is commonly climbed in a two day expedition,
 usually including the neighbouring Munro Beinn Bheoil.

 There are two bothies near to Ben Alder:
Culra Lodge to the north
and Ben Alder Cottage to the south.

Ben Alder Cottage

 Ben Alder Cottage is reputed to be haunted
by the ghost of a ghillie
 who hanged himself from the rafters.

Ben Alder was the final summit on my round of the Munros
when I enjoyed a sound night’s sleep in Ben Alder Cottage,
my only stay in a bothy.
