I spent the night in the UK's most northerly bothy

Burnmouth bothy in Rackwick (Hoy) — the UK's most northerly bothy — has been lovingly restored and now feels cosy inside with a new stove and a working toilet, making for a surprisingly comfortable overnight hideout.
It sits a short walk from the iconic Old Man of Hoy sea stack, so it's a favourite base for climbers and anyone who likes a dramatic coastal view.
The renovation was driven by the Hoy Development Trust and local craftsmen with over £142,000 from Orkney Islands Council, replacing the leaking heather thatch with stone slabs to preserve the 19th‑century building.
