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
