Spent last weekend in a Scottish bothy called Craig in the Torridon area. Does anyone else enjoy this sort of wild experience and if so what is your favourite bothy?
Hi Spike......Bothy's are great, they are small cottages in remote area's, with a place to sleep and a fire place too, very basic and its first come, first served, though sometimes you have to share with others. They are free to use and you just leave the place as you find it.......Spikey DaPikey said:How does this work ? Do you just turn up or do ya havta pay etc ?
They sound fun, but i have no idea how it works
Have a look here. Its the Mountain Bothies Assoc. Lots of good pictures of various bothies.Spikey DaPikey said:How does this work ? Do you just turn up or do ya havta pay etc ?

A few years ago a friend of mine ate some mussels here. He was paralised the following day, not from the whisky but with shellfish poisoning! Had to stay in his bunk till it wore off!Neil1 said:Ah Hammy
You were'nt supposed to tell the rest of the world about Sourlies, mind its a fair walk in, but really worth the effort.
On your last visit was the "beast" still visiting @ night.
Some of my best memories are sitting in that bothy, eating mussels & pasta, sharing conversation (and a wee dram)with complete strangers, while the weather was howling outside.
My favourite mountain sits behind it too.
