Bothies
Wikimedia list article
Bothies are simple shelters found in remote country, within Great Britain, especially within National Parks.
Understand
Bothies are simple shelters which can be stayed in for free, subject to observing a few conditions. They are some distance from other facilities and are often 5 mi (8.0 km) from a public road.
Many bothies are maintained by the Mountain Bothies Association (MBA), a charity which organises volunteers to do basic maintenance to the bothy structure with the permission of the owner of the bothy.
