The Bothy
Welcome to the Bothy, a cosy Highland retreat where the fire is always burning, the kettle is never far away and every story is worth telling. Inspired by Scotland’s traditional bothies, this is a place to unwind, share experiences and appreciate the simple pleasures of good company, skilled craftsmanship and life outdoors. Whether you’re here for a quiet dram, a hearty conversation or simply a moment of peace, pull up a chair—you’ve earned it.

The Bothy celebrates traditional skills, the outdoors, craftsmanship and the joy of slowing down.
