Bothy Culture: Wee Huts of Stories Stories of Scotland

In this first episode, Annie and Jenny consider the significance of bothies in Scottish culture and delve into the dark pasts of bothy life and the ballads that farm 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.Stories of Scotland is a multi-award winning Highland podcast, proudly recorded in Inverness in North of Scotland.
