welcome to the

Mountain Bothies Association

The Mountain Bothies Association is a charity which maintains about 100 shelters in some of the remoter parts of the UK.

With the permission and support of the owners, these shelters are unlocked and are available for anyone to use. All of our maintenance activities are carried out by volunteers. We welcome new members who want to support our work, either by attending work parties or by contributing financially through subscriptions and donations.

Most of the MBA bothies are in Scotland with others in England and Wales.

Never stayed at a bothy before? Have a look at our FAQ's which can be accessed by clicking on the "Information" section.
