Here are a few photos of bothies that I have stayed in:
Glenfinnan bothy, about 3 miles up from the railway bridge. | The interior of the Glenfinnan bothy. | A bothy near Ben Nevis. |
Dave's Bothy-It's really called this-look at the sign above my head! | The bothy near Ben Nevis mentioned above. | A bothy near Hadrian's Wall in northern England. |

To help you understand what staying in a bothy is like, I have enclosed some excerpts from Mountain Days and Bothy Nights, by Dave Brown and Ian Mitchell.
