The Scottish Bothy Bible

Oh humble bothy, what stories are held within your walls? Whose hands laid your foundations, crafted your walls, your doors, your windows, your roof?

'A simple shelter in remote country for the use and benefit of all those who love being in wild and lonely places' (Mountain Bothies Association). The bothy is something quite unique to Scotland, a resource to be cherished.
