The wind rattles the corrugated roof and the burn rushes past in the dark — you're properly off-grid here, tucked into a mountain bothy where the only heating is what you carry in or find nearby.

This is one for walkers who know what a bothy is and what it isn't: a bare-bones refuge, open year-round, sleeping whoever turns up on a first-come basis. Bring a sleeping mat, stove, head torch, and enough goodwill to share the space. Dogs are welcome but check the current policy, and ask about campfires when you arrive — bothy etiquette and fuel availability vary. You can pitch a tent outside if the hut's full or you prefer your own canvas.

No running water, no warden, no bookings — just a roof, four walls, and the mountains for company. Leave it cleaner than you found it, pack out everything you pack in, and respect the silence. It's as wild as UK camping gets.
