Über diesen Titel
SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE
A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR
‘The bothy embrace is addictive’ ADAM NICOLSON
'Will have you reaching for your boots’ CAL FLYN
……………………………………………………………..
A bothy is a remote hut in the wilderness that you can’t reserve, with no electricity, mod-cons or running water. The doors are always unlocked, you just need to step inside.
From the rugged cliffs at the northern tip of Scotland to the fairy-tale valleys of Wales, historian Kat Hill tours us across the UK exploring the history of these wild shelters and her fellow wanderers – past and present.
Bothy is a stirring, beautiful book for anyone who longs to run away to the wilds

Kritikerstimmen
'A thoughtful exploration of what these remote outposts mean to their users, drawing on archived visitor books as well as describing the bothies’ redemptive role in her own life'
Financial Times
'The result is a thoughtful and thought-provoking, a beguiling combination of travel writing, nature writing, social history and personal reflection'
Daily Mail
'Kat Hill thoughtfully couples history with memoir; these personal touches endear the reader to a life of bothy-dwelling. This is a warm, erudite work that neatly explores our relationship with wild landscapes and carefully considers our place within them'
New Stateman
‘A questing, atmospheric collection of meditations of the essential nature of bothy life. A book steeped in dubbin, wood smoke, lanolin, and love of wild places, Kat Hill's hymn to the humble highland hut will delight and inform armchair travellers, weekend walkers, and veteran rough-stuffers alike’
Dan Richards, co-author of Holloway
‘You can't imagine just how much I loved the book… the universality underneath the particularity is going to strike a chord with so many readers’
Sophie Howarth, author of Looking at Trees and co-founder of The School of Life
