Presmuchrach Bothy, now relocated to the Highland Folk Museum. It was originally built in the early 1900s at Presmuchrach near Dalwhinnie using approximately 65 recycled railway sleepers.

The Sheep fank at Presmuchrach Bothy, built of dry stone dyking using re-claimed stone from a fank close to Dalwhinnie, Inverness-shire. These fanks were used to manage and control the sheep at lambing, shearing and dipping times. Behind can be seen the bothy itself and one of the museum's short horn cows.
