I’ve spent a lot of time in beautiful places… but now and then you find somewhere which you know is a little bit special. This bothy and the surrounding woodland are without a doubt one of those places for me. I’ve never been to a more peaceful, well kept bothy. It’s so full of character, and has been so thoughtfully placed. The huge decking looks out over the trees, a river and miles and miles of open hills. There’s deer and sheep wandering around, and very rarely any people. In fact, the only people we’ve seen up here have been estate workers and the gamekeeper.
It’s such a beautiful spot, that it’s somewhere I’ll never share the location of online. I’m not even referring to it here with the name it’s known as… we’re just calling it the green bothy for now. One thing I can share though, is that it was actually the setting of a recently made horror film, ‘She Will’. The film itself is a little slow, but it was interesting to see the bothy decorated as a residence, and spotting other nooks of forest and lochside spots that I recognised. I’ve always wanted to sleep here overnight, but to be honest… this film has sort of ruined that idea for me. Too spooky, no thank you.
