Bothy Tales: Footsteps in the Scottish hills

In Bothy Tales, the follow-up to The Last Hillwalker from bestselling mountain writer John D. Burns, travel with the author to secret places hidden amongst the British hills and share his passion for the wonderful wilderness of our uplands.

Come with me. Feel the wind on your face, the snow crunching beneath your boots and relax in the glow of the bothy fire at the end of the day. My aim is to take the reader with me to the remote parts of the Scottish Highlands that I love. My joy in life is to explore wild places. I’ve explored Africa, Canada and the Alps but my greatest passion remains in the Scottish Highlands where I have made my home. I write about the places I travel with humor and compassion. I want to show my readers the lonely hills I walk and share with them my love of bothies the remote Scottish mountain shelters, unique to the Highlands.
