Did you know... that you can stay overnight free of charge in any of over ninety bothies (Corrour Bothy pictured), but you must bring your own fuel if you want to watch "bothy TV"?

General notes[edit]

To help with keeping things up to date, when the article was created the MBA website listed the number of properties in each region as: Northern Highlands 13, North West Highlands and Islands 12, Western Highlands 10, Southwest Highlands and Islands 14, Central Highlands 10 (including Culra), Eastern Highlands 12, Southern Scotland 10 (running total 81), Northern England and Borders 11, Wales 8 (total 100).

I have requested Phoebe Smith's book from the library (I have so far only been able to see the online preview) so I shall update when possible. Thincat (talk) 13:37, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This book has arrived. Although it the same ISBN the page numbers are different in the preview from the printed book. Since full access is only from the printed version I have updated all the page numbers to the print version. Thincat (talk) 21:55, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Allan's elevations can be quite a lot different from those shown on the OS 25000 maps, I suppose because he is using GPS (for A' Chuil right on the 100 m contour he gives 137 m). For Scottish bothies the article uses his values except in two cases of error (noted in the article's text). A very few coordinates at odds with MBA and OS have been silently corrected.

Euphemism[edit]

Please stop referring to villages as deserted or abandoned when they were forcibly cleared. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.86.170.141 (talk) 09:14, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

New MBA website[edit]

The MBA website has been completely revamped and the old URLs do not map automatically into the new ones. I have manually updated the URLs. The bothies no longer seem to have numbers but I have left these for now. A new bothy has been added, Great Lingy Hut.

Central Highlands 10 (including Culra)
