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. 

These shelters are unlocked and are available for anyone to use. All of our maintenance activities are carried out by volunteers and we welcome new members who want to support us in this work.

Our newsletter to members carries details of work parties which might, over a weekend, repair windows and loose door hinges or, over a week or so, might construct a new roof and floor and create a new bothy out of a near ruin

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