The Raeburn is a Scottish Mountaineering Club hut, sitting on the A889 between Dalwhinnie and Laggan with views across Strath Spey to the Monadh Liath hills. It’s widely described as one of the best-appointed huts in the country, with a hot shower, heating, a drying room and a full kitchen. It’s also a handy base, with the Cairngorms to the east and Creag Meagaidh to the south-west.
You’ve got a great choice of days. Creag Meagaidh is a fine Munro with a big, dramatic corrie. The Drumochter hills by the A9 (Beinn Udlamain, A’ Mharconaich and friends) are an easy drive for a straightforward day, and the hills around Loch Laggan, such as Beinn a’ Chlachair and Geal-charn, give you a long day on a wild and quiet part of the Highlands. If you fancy something different, Ben Alder is a big adventure from the Dalwhinnie side. Early September is a lovely time for it, with settled weather often on offer.
