24 Hours in a Remote Bothy – What It’s REALLY Like (I Wasn't Alone)

Overinight in a remote Scottish bothy… and honestly, who knows what to expect. No electricity. No booking. Completely free to stay in. In this video, I head out to Greensykes Bothy in the Scottish Borders to see what it’s really like to spend a night in one of these hidden shelters. From the walk in, to cooking, to the reality of being completely alone out here (OR NOT)— this was a proper experience. If you’ve ever wondered what a bothy is, or thought about staying in one, this should give you a real insight into what it’s actually like. ________________________________________________________________________ If you enjoyed the video and would like to support me by buying me a “coffee,” you can do so here: https://buymeacoffee.com/wanderingsimon ________________________________________________________________________ 👉Gear in my videos👈: (These are affiliate links, which means I earn a small commission if you make a purchase through them—at no extra cost to you!
