I picked this book up about a year ago and have been slowly working my way through the locations in the book. Geoff Allan navigates you across burns and bogs, taking you to Viking longhouses, island hideaways and highland homesteads. Written by the founder of the ‘Bothies on a Bike’ blog, it offers detailed information on the locations and approach routes by foot, canoe and bicycle and highlights the best bothies for Munros, beach, seclusion and families.to know there is a bothy in the middle of Knoydart is interesting, but i would have liked pinpoint maps showing paths and approaches etc, rather than just a grid ref. Importantly, a section is dedicated to the rules and bothy code, great for those unfamiliar with how to behave towards the bothy and others using it. 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. Engaging travel writing documents the captivating history of each bothy and the adventurers who use them.
