Hello Emma, it really is a lovely little Bothy and was just amazing to spend the night. We just timed it right with the clear night for the Stars, it was breathtaking to watch. Thank you for the lovely comments 👍
Thank you Jeanette lovely comment, its something i do in most cases. Yes it really was a lovely Bothy very easy to walk to and hope others make use of the simple items. Steve 👍
Thanks for the comment and yes i totally agree. Many people will be grateful to see such a thing in a Bothy when they are in need of such a simple thing to use or repair something. Steve 👍
I've seen many Bothys in videos and I notice one thing. Each one has its own personality and character. What helpful and very sturdy places for anyone in need of shelter. Great community of all sorts of adventurers. I appreciate your time to create this. Thanks!
Very true, they do have great character and make you feel very welcoming. The MBA (Mountain Bothy Association) are a good team who look after many bothies and make comfortable as they can and very enjoyable to stay in. Thanks for the kind comment. Steve
Thank you for the kind word, i do this to take different people on a journey to explore Scotland and take you on a little adventure. Glad you like it, that makes me happy 👍
Hello Mary sorry for the late reply i have been away cycling the North Coast 500 and then the Great Glen Way here in Scotland so near 800 miles. Stayed in a little Bothy when i was away and they really are a life line for walkers, hikers and campers. Thank you for the lovely comments i appreciate it 👍. Steve
A friend an me went through Glen duror. I planted a little spruce on the Isle in the Reservoir. If you ever go this way again, please take a photo of this Gravel-isle so I know, that it is growing well. Many greets from northern Germany! Ingo
Hello and thank you for the comment and all the way from Germany to. Very nice to hear from you, what a nice story you and your friend have made, i shall be sure to let you know the next time i am there. I will look in to that point where the tree is planted and the Isle. A nice thing to do and a great memory to have. Steve 👍
Great idea for a Bothy Box. I notice places that have cabins are places where there is trust and respect for the place, the cabin, surroundings and fellow man. That's special.
Hello Irene thanks for the comment, i get great pleasure out of helping fellow walkers and campers in this way. The feeling you get when you come across an item left for someone else to use or help them out is pretty special. Good feedback so thank you for taking time to say so 👍
Its just a great little setting and not to bad to get to, sleeps roughly 4 but other could sleep on the floor or squeeze in. A very quiet place to spend the night 👍
Nice one i do love a hammock, i left a Bothy box tin in there, was anything usable. Its a great cosy wee Bothy and if there area few people in it, it would be pretty warm. Always a good thing to take rubbish away 👍
Thank you for the lovely comment Jennifer i have to say the photos of the Stars were down to my daughter Charlie she has such a better camera and knows all the settings to take the photos haha. I will get there eventually 😄 Steve
Yeah and if you are out and about in a Bothy i hope you find something useful in it for an emergency or quick repair for something 👍 Its the little things. Steve
I was down at Duror Bothy a couple of years ago during a very hot week of walking and loved the place. I was really taken by the location as well as the great throne chair. I found the deepish pool on the stream just grand for cooling the nether regions - it was roasting. I will be back at some point or another.
Hello Willie its a great bothy and a nice casual walk in to it i found, lovely vies and plenty of brash and ground timber to use for the fire. We actually carried a small bag of coal and if i go back it would be well worth taking a bigger bag to keep the fire topped up at night. Its one i do hope to go back to. Steve 👍
Thanks for you kind comment Roger, good to keep it real and enjoy my trips as best as i can. Everyone i do is different and take it as it comes and love it. Thank you for following 👍🏻
Hi l gust fond your video l lovd it l am relly wanting to try this but to scerd to do my self l am Scottish lady living in londen when up 2 yers ago bot a little toabul van don't drive so keep where is next to killin l coming home in cupp of months this winter l relly want to be up hills woods of Scotland stay safe bothy box was so kind and thotfull
Hello Letitia thank you so much for the comment, Killin is a beautiful place to be, i have camped on one of the campsites there years ago. You would love Bothy camping, there are lots top choose from which are to to big a walk to get to. I hope you get back up soon and manage to tick a Bothy stay off your bucket list which would be nice. I wish you well on your wee adventure 👍 Steve
some very simple things can save a life... I know THREE people who are alive now because of having the tools to light a fire and a little food left available in a random shelter... it meant they survived long enough to get rescued.
Thanks for the comment, thats nice to know that leaving something behind do benefit others in whatever way they feel. Truly shows that people do appreciate things being left and the outcome of what happens. A nice story that hopefully will keep people leaving useful items behind. Steve 👍
Ahh just typical when you try to do something kind for folk, it was good while it lasted and like to think someone got use out of it. A shame but not much we can do. Cheer for the update. Hope you had a great stay in that bothy its a nice one. Steve 👍
Hi Marjorie yeas more or less thats what it is. This is the proper term - The term Bothy comes from Gaelic 'bothan' meaning a hut. Historically a bothy is a small shelter or cottage built for labourers. As hill farming declined walkers began to use the deserted buildings and 'Bothying' became the word used for this activity. 👍
@@Campingonthewildsidescotland Thank you. I learned so much from you. My grandmother was 100 percent Scottish, and my grandfather part Scottish. ai am a great grandmother, age 80, in southwest Montana, USA.
@@marjoriegarner5369 Thank you for your kind words. I like to show people different parts of Scotland and the amazing scenery we have here. Nice to hear you have good Scottish roots and you have a wee connection to the vides. Thank you for watching them 👍
Glad you enjoyed your stay. The "bothy box" wasn't there when I visited the bothy on 18th February. I'm not sure why you think it is necessary in any case. The bothy is a short distance from the road and emergency provisions aren't needed. As part of safety regulations MOs undertake fire safety instructions on a regular basis. This includes sweeping the chimney and checking the status of fire extinguisher and blanket, the latter two items are seen in video. Thank you for clearing up after leaving. Mark; MO Taigh Seumas a’ Ghlinne bothy, Glen Duror.
Thanks for the comments Mark, i guess trying to help others regardless of where the bothy is located is a bad idea and as the good will Bothy Box went missing, well either someone has felt they need it more than anyone or MBA have thought it shouldn't be there but its fine. I wont waste my time doing them. It is a lovely Bothy and hope to get back to it again. 👍
Wow, the shot of the stars over the bothy, candlelight in the windows…absolutely stunning!
Hello Emma, it really is a lovely little Bothy and was just amazing to spend the night. We just timed it right with the clear night for the Stars, it was breathtaking to watch. Thank you for the lovely comments 👍
Wow what a brilliant video and the scenary was just stunning I think that little box is a very kind and thoughtful thing to leave for other people
Thank you Jeanette lovely comment, its something i do in most cases. Yes it really was a lovely Bothy very easy to walk to and hope others make use of the simple items.
Steve 👍
PAY IT FOWARD BOTHY BOX IS AMAZING LETS SHOW EACH OTHER AS HUMANS THAT WE CAN SHARE WITH OTHERS❤
Thanks for the comment and yes i totally agree. Many people will be grateful to see such a thing in a Bothy when they are in need of such a simple thing to use or repair something.
Steve 👍
great channel, class !
Nice video, stars were amazing
Thanks Andrew i have to let my daughter take credit for that she has the better camera for night shooting 👍

The Bothy Box is an excellent idea 👍🏻 I'm not an avid camper but I really loved your video ❤
Thank you for the kind word, i do this to take different people on a journey to explore Scotland and take you on a little adventure. Glad you like it, that makes me happy 👍
Love the idea of the Bothy Box 👍 . I love your photos of each Bothy , especially the interior ! Love your commentary . Thank you !🇨🇦🥰

Was in Duror bothy 26th January for the night and suspended hammock inside. Nice starlight night also. Mind take your rubbish away with you.
Nice one i do love a hammock, i left a Bothy box tin in there, was anything usable. Its a great cosy wee Bothy and if there area few people in it, it would be pretty warm. Always a good thing to take rubbish away 👍
Lovely video. Most enjoyable for a cold stormy night like tonight.

Hi mate staying in the bothy now and I can only find the lid of your tin.the rest has disappeared.

Steve 👍
Hi there, let's have some new videos please.
Been away on a 15 day adventure across Scotland doing the TGO Challenge so putting the videos together. Doing 3 days per video but on it 👍
Does the doghave a jacketon? If not he or she should.
Was there a toilet or poe at all ???
Hi Chris no toilet in this Bothy no, there is a large wood surrounding it so thats your best bet.
Steve👍
Is a bothy a Scottish word for cabin?
