Corrour Bothy is a simple stone building on Mar Lodge Estate, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is located below Coire Odhar between The Devil's Point and Cairn Toul on the western side of the River Dee in the Lairig Ghru. The bothy is a single room with a fireplace and chimney in its northern gable. Its dimensions are 6m by 3.6m . There is a toilet in the wooden extension to the building. It is used as a mountain refuge and as a starting point for ascents of Munros including The Devil's Point, Cairn Toul, and Braeriach. ==Name== The name ''Corrour'' is used as a name for the locality as well as specifically as a name for the bothy itself, the name being derived from Coire Odhar according to , who continues: In the author gives the local pronunciation as ''Corower'', but without explanation. However in the section "Hints on Gaelic pronunciation" appears to suggest the final-vowels of ''Coire'' (and corrie) are dropped to give ''kor'', and that the ''dh'' in ''Odhar'' are silent because they follow a vowel—giving what sounds like ''kor-Oar'', or like the ''cor-ower'' suggested in . In spite of the earlier work and his understanding of Gaelic—and its local dialect— suggest an alternative origin for the place name as a shelter for the currour or forester's assistant. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Corrour Bothy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
