Description
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, modern conveniences, 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
