Another local favourite was Glen Pean
I have spent one (and only one) eerie night in Glen Pean Bothy.
Myself and my mate Frazer were asleep in bags on the floor. July 1989. About 3am.
The door groaned open, scraping across the stone floor, someone came stomping in and pulled a chair along the floor. I heard them sit down and clump off their boots. I switched on my headlight to say hello. My mate Frazer was already sitting up in his sleeping bag with his light shining onto the chairs around the still glowing fire. The room was empty. Nothing had been disturbed. The door was still on the latch. We both legged it outside to see if anyone was there. The moon was up. The Knoydart sky was bright with stars. No-one on the path. Nothing. Utter silence.
Someone had came in - of that we were both certain. We were both woken by the same noises. It was the room we were lying in.... No trace of anyone. We didn't sleep for the rest of the night. Never went back to Glen Pean Bothy. Very eerie.
That's all.
Woah! Great stuff. Truly truly true?
Yes. We didn't have a collective double identical audio hallucination. We weren't drunk, stoned or anything weird.
I can't claim it was a ghost, Auld Nick or anything from Fairyland. We didn't see a thing. But both of us heard exactly the same things. It wasn't heard "through a wall", the door scraped opened right into the bothy space. The noises were about six feet away from us both asleep on the floor. I can offer no explanation for it. There were no voices. It was the sound of one hiker coming in through the door, clattering a chair across the room and howking his boots off. That's all. And there was no-one there when I clipped my headlamp on a few seconds later. Frazer was already sitting up in his bag staring at the empty room with his torch.
This is the place ... step inside...

This a taste of the kind of trips we made in Knoydart back in the late 80's when me and my cronies were young and fit (but this isn't us...)

I don't want to derail this thread about "most isolated sites". So back to the action...
