Unlike mountain refuges in Europe bothies in the UK aren't manned. |
A youngish red-haired man worked on a nearby farm and took to hanging around the bothies most evenings. |
Or to cut down on some of these items you could take a bivvy bag instead of a tent or sleep in bothies and hostels. |
Those who are happy to spend most of their time outdoors could choose simple accommodation run by the Colonsay Estate, which owns two traditional stone bothies next to the backpackers' lodge. |
If this was society, where a man can't even go to a pub without a reminder of the bubbling undercurrent of social unrest, give me back my bothies in the wilderness. |
