Description
Bothy is a stirring exploration of the UK's wild shelters and the people who use them. Historian Kat Hill takes readers on a journey across the country, from the rugged cliffs of Scotland to the fairy-tale valleys of Wales, uncovering the history and significance of these remote huts.
From the doors that are always unlocked to the lack of mod-cons, Kat Hill delves into the world of the bothy, where history, nature, and personal reflection blend together. This is a thought-provoking book that will appeal to anyone who loves the outdoors and is curious about the people who venture into the wilderness.
Shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize and featured in the Financial Times Book of the Year, Bothy is a beguiling combination of travel writing, nature writing, social history, and personal reflection. With its beautiful prose and engaging storytelling, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone who loves the great outdoors.
