Bothy Culture: Wee Huts of Stories

In this first episode we consider the significance of bothies and delve into the dark pasts of bothies and the ballads that bothy workers would sing by the peat fires to warm their spirits. We think about what bothies are used for in modern Scotland and how they can help us spend more time enjoying nature and the outdoors, supporting both physical and mental wellbeing.
