Coire Etchachan Shelter - 16th July 2010

Coire Etchachan Shelter is the mountain refuge in Coire Etchachan. 

The Coire Etchachan Shelter is also known as the Etchachan Hut, and the Hutchinson Memorial Hut. 

Coire Etchachan Shelter is sometimes called the Coire Etchachan Bothy, but unlike Corrour Bothy it was not built by the estate as employee accommodation - and so isn't a true bothy.

The Coire Etchachan Shelter was built in 1954 to commemorate Arthur Gilbertson Hutchinson
