The Mountain Bothies Association's Bothy Code

Respect Other Users

Please leave the bothy clean, tidy and with dry kindling for the next visitors.

Respect the Bothy

Guard against fire risk and don't cause vandalism or graffiti. Please take out all rubbish which you don't burn. Avoid burying rubbish: this pollutes the environment. Please don't leave perishable food, this encourages mice and rats.

Respect The Surroundings

Human waste must be buried carefully out of sight. Please use the spade provided. For health reasons never use the vicinity of the bothy as a toilet. Keep well away from the water supply. Conserve fuel. Never cut live wood.

Please Note

Bothies are available for short stays only. Permission should be obtained for longer visits. Unless the safety of the group requires the use of shelter in bad weather, bothies are not available for groups of 6 or more because of overcrowding and the lack of facilities such as toilets. For the same reasons groups are asked not to camp outside bothies. Groups wishing to use a bothy should seek permission from the estate.

Finally, please ensure the fire is out and the door properly closed when you leave.

Bothies are used at your own risk
