Melgrave is a great Bothy, it’s a two up two down so loads of space. I would be surpised if it was full. There’s another small Bothy on the north side near the top that’s also decent if things are getting grim, no fire though.
Your options for the second night will probably be camping or BnB. Had a quick google, Glenn Sassunn rings a bell but I can’t find any details on it, it’s pretty off route so I would give it a miss anyway. We stayed at a campsite on route after Loch Rannoch however it’s name escapes me. Top sheltered picnic area for a bivy.
You could bivy along the side Loch Rannoch but it’s a popular spot with weegie weekend campers so might be busy.
Edit: The campsite is called Kilvrecht Campsite

Morning folks. I'm doing a three-day ride from Inverness to Glasgow in a few weeks. Copying a route I found online: https://www.theracingcollective.com/scotduro.html#logistics
I'm currently planning to split it into three rides and stay at two bothies. Both of them are seemingly quite isolated and I'm struggling to find any reassuring information online that confirms they're still open.
One is the Melgarve bothy, 85km in, and the other is Glan Sassunn bothy. Anyone know anything about them? Glenn Sassunn seems to involved going through a farm - is that OK? Here's my route for day 3, adapted to start from the bothy. Ideally I'd have stayed somewhere near the loch but that was the nearest place: https://www.strava.com/routes/20209602
