Monument record MHG25885 - Bothy, Mol Mor

NB91SE 15 9826 1000

Situated on the end of the promontory at Mol Mor, this building measures 6.1m from E to W by 3.7m transversely within mortared-rubble walls, 2m high and 0.5m thick, with an entrance in the S, a fireplace in the E gable and a blocked window in the S. An earthen-walled enclosure on the E measures 7.5m square and there is a drain that runs S from the E gable. The building may have served as a salmon bothy and is similar to that at Reiff (NB 91SE 20).

This location is known locally as Fox Point. Photographs of the bothy were submitted to the HER by a website visitor in September 2009. There is now no pond by the site as suggested by the Ordnance Survey mapping.
It was also noted that a crew of workmen is currently building a Pictish village nearby, preparing for filming "The Eagle of the Ninth" (director Kevin MacDonald, shooting 7th to 13th October 2009). <1>
