The lamp is on. Almost nothing is visible.
Book
Before you write, here is what the sky is doing on the night this page was built for — because the honest answer to “is it worth coming” is sometimes no.
9 h 02
Of astronomical darkness, beginning 20:34 and ending 05:36.
Moon 1%
Below the horizon, which is the condition everything faint on this site was computed for.
Milky Way down
The galactic centre is -9.9° above the horizon at the moment this page draws, and reaches 6.0° at its highest from this latitude.
The bothy takes one party at a time and is arranged by email. There is no key to collect and no reception; you are sent a gate code and a map reference.
Three nights minimum from September to March, because in Galloway you need three to be reasonably sure of one clear one. We do not take bookings between the second week of May and the first week of August, for the reason set out on the sky page.
This panel is the booking seam. A property running Cloudbeds or Mews replaces this one component with its own web component or widget; nothing else on the site changes, and the sky engine never knows.
