Scottish Bothy Bible: The complete guide to Scotland s bothies and how to reach them

Product Information

Geoff Allan navigates you across burns and bogs, taking you to Viking longhouses, island hideaways and highland homesteads. Detailed information on the locations, approach routes, including alternative routes – on foot, by bike and kayak – with nine supporting maps.

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.

Geoff Allan is Scotland’s premier bothy expert: founder of the ‘Bothies on a Bike’ blog he has hiked, biked and slept the night in each and every Scottish bothy. The owners of many bothies will be watching developments with trepidation, so let’s hope they aren’t revving up their bulldozers yet.

In this book author Phoebe Smith celebrates 26 of the very best bothies in the country, as she shares her memories of her favourite 'stone tents' all over the UK in remote and wild locations.Though of course, like many people, I'm too busy with a work and family life and will probably never experience a single night in a bothy, but of course, I don't have to really because Phoebe cast a bothy spell in my mind with her writing style.
