The Scottish bothy bible is the first ever complete guide book to Scotland’s bothies, featuring full details on over 100 MBA bothies and more. A photographer, surveyor and ex-maintenance officer for Dibidil – a Mountain Bothy Association’s bothy on the Isle of Rùm – he is your perfect guide to exploring Scotland’s wild places. What I really like is the author gives honest accounts of the places, if one is a bit run down, you know about it before you go so you’re not expecting 5* luxury at the end of your walk. This book is everything the bothy lover could want or need, beautifully produced and enormously practical. Firstly the pictures themselves are brilliant, and a brief history is given in relation to the bothy.

however, the maps were rough hand-drawn, artistic yes, but of zero navigational value, which was a great disappointment. His engaging travel writing documents the fascinating history of each bothy and the adventurers who use them.g. romantic, solitude, Munroes, beaches, etc); explores the work of the Mountain Bothy Association; gives advice on Hill craft and staying safe. As you can tell from the front cover the photography inside is stunning and really captures the places well. Scattered across Scotland s most beautiful landscapes, these evocative abandoned crofts and farmsteads are free to stay in and offer a chance to experience the ultimate in wild adventure living. Some don’t like that they are advertised in this way, but for those truly interested and willing to follow the code and treat them with respect, it is an invaluable resource that I would highly recommend.
