But don’t outstay your welcome, whatever the reason you are there for. You could be depriving someone else who needs the shelter. Regarded as the best book on Scottish bothies, The Bothy Bible is a no-brainer if you want to explore from your armchair before venturing out.
The Bothy Book: Introducing Venture Trust’s New Blog
A surge of interest in mountain bothies has lead to problems, so make sure you are well aware of the Bothy Code before staying in any of these bothies: Travel writer, photographer and outdoor guide based in Edinburgh, Geoff Allan is also the Mountain Bothies Association’s maintenance officer for Dibidil Bothy on Rùm. He has hiked and biked to every well-known Scottish bothy and is the author of The Scottish Bothy Bible. The bothy sits at the top of Strath an Eilich, with the river Calder located a convenient 20 metres away. It is a short hike from Newtonmore and Laggan.
There are around 100 bothies in Scotland, most of which are managed by the Mountain Bothy Association.

The design of the book is lovely too, with lots of colour photographs throughout. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a new adventure, or for the person that regularly spends time sleeping out in the hills.Accessing this bothy comes with its challenges- it is surrounded by three rivers, which can be impassable in spate. There has even been the odd visitor here during winter, which is a feat hard to fathom considering the peat-bog terrain and winding rivers would be covered in snow. Combined with the hearty trek to actually reach the bothy from Strathcarron, Craig, or Morvich, spending a night here sure is something special.
About bothy books…. - Mountain Bothies
Suggestions for walks, cycle rides and places of interest en route. Go wild swimming under a hidden waterfall or discover an ancient shell midden. Multi-day possibilities include camping at the old bothy at Culra, or a station-to-station trip from Rannoch to Corrour as described in Classic Walks. Absolutely not. A bothy is a shelter and resting place for travellers. Do not take up residence, and ask the landowner if you want to stay more than 2 nights. Can you camp outside a bothy?

I remembered it from my childhood as a place where you could step out of your troubles, step in from the cold, step away from the day-to-day.
