DEDICATION

This book is dedicated to the Mountain Bothies Association, which for the past 50 years has protected over 100 of these wonderful shelters for us all to enjoy, and to all the bothy Maintenance Officers (MOs) who work tirelessly to look after their adopted shelters. Finally, it is dedicated to every single person who has, and will, visit a bothy – just like you reading this now; I know you will also work to leave them in better shape then when you arrive, so we can all continue to enjoy them in the years to come.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Thanks to my walking companions over the years and to all the people I’ve ever met in bothies – this book would not exist without you. Special thanks to Neil for some of the wonderful photographs and illustrations within these pages.
