Bothy: In Search of Simple Shelter

For those that crave an escape to the wilds, this book is for you.

A bothy is a simple shelter for anyone to use, with quiet, remote wilderness for company instead of the usual mod-cons. These humble huts are the inspiration for writer Kat Hill's novel, where she takes us on a journey around Britain, revealing the long history of these wild mountain shelters and the people who visit them. 

Combining her historian's insight with her rambler's imagination, Kat weaves her own stories together with those of fellow wanderers, giving a fresh take on the concept of nature and escape as well as the conflict between our desire to preserve these remote beauties and the need to share them with others.
