Scottish bothy
A Scottish bothy is a simple, often remote shelter found in the Scottish countryside, typically used by hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. These structures are usually basic stone or wooden buildings, offering minimal amenities like a fireplace and sleeping space. Bothies are often located in scenic areas, making them popular for those seeking adventure in nature.
Bothies are traditionally maintained by the Mountain Bothies Association, which ensures they remain accessible to the public. They are free to use, promoting a spirit of community and shared enjoyment of the outdoors. Visitors are encouraged to leave the bothy clean and tidy for the next users.
