Bothies in Scotland You Can Book for the Night

A bothy on the hill is free, unlocked and first come, first served, and part of the romance is never quite knowing who else will be there. These are the other kind. Bothies you can book, with a real bed made up, a stove ready to light and a door that locks behind you, so you get all of the character and none of the guesswork.

We've gathered our favourite bookable bothies across Scotland, from stone cottages at the end of a track to modern takes on the idea with big windows and a wood-fired hot tub. Small, simple and wonderfully remote, they're somewhere to disappear for a night or two.
