In Scotland, which is blessed with exceptionally picturesque and unpopulated landscapes, it is common for backpackers to head to the hills to relax. The more ambitious and experienced among them may choose to break up longer hikes with an overnight stay in basic bunkhouses called bothies. There are more than 90 bothies dotted across the country’s most scenic spots and their remote locations—some can only be reached by hiking for several hours—mean isolation is almost guaranteed.
