Cairngorm Club

C. C. Macdonald, W. A. Hawes, and W. Anderson at Clach Dhion - the Shelter Stone, above Loch A'an in the Cairngorms on 24 June 1887.

The first meet was held on 9 July 1889, staying at Nethy Bridge Hotel and ascending Cairn Gorm and Ben Macdui from Glenmore Lodge.

[8] Now empty, the Lodge still lies at the confluence of the Derry and Luibeg burns, at the end of a private road.

After agreeing that the lease would continue until 1966, the club replaced the corrugated iron scullery and rear passageway in 1955.

NTS submitted a plan to convert the building into a 20-bedroom hostel with space for two staff, retaining its lounge and dining rooms.

[10] Known as Muir of Inverey, it is located west of Braemar, on the north side of the Linn of Dee road.

The accommodation initially consisted of a combined kitchen and sitting room, and beds for 12 in three bedrooms, two in adjacent wooden annexes.

[11] After purchasing the building,[12] a timber extension was constructed in 1972, with four dormitories sleeping a total of 18, two toilets with showers, and a separate small sitting room.
