Synopsis

SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE

A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR

‘The bothy embrace is addictive’ ADAM NICOLSON

'Will have you reaching for your boots’ CAL FLYN

……………………………………………………………..

A bothy is a remote hut in the wilderness that you can’t reserve, with no electricity, mod-cons or running water. The doors are always unlocked, you just need to step inside.

From the rugged cliffs at the northern tip of Scotland to the fairy-tale valleys of Wales, historian Kat Hill tours us across the UK exploring the history of these wild shelters and her fellow wanderers – past and present.

Bothy is a stirring, beautiful book for anyone who longs to run away to the wilds

‘A thoughtful exploration of what these remote outposts mean to their users’FINANCIAL TIMES

‘A beguiling combination of travel writing, nature writing, social history and personal reflection’DAILY MAIL
