Obviously the promotion of bothies is likely to increase footfall which can have a very negative impact if users abuse the use of them and their surroundings. \r\n\r\nWe at Survival and Bushcrafts have no influence with the author or publisher of Scottish Bothy Walks or the owner of Peanmeanach Bothy and are therefore not in a position to know what discussions went on between them. However, we really appreciate you sharing this information with us.\r\n\r\nPeanmeanach is in such a great location too so it is a real pity that it has been closed. \r\n\r\nThe MBA website has updated its information about Peanmeanach which can be viewed at https:\/\/www.mountainbothies.org.uk\/bothies\/southwest-highlands-islands\/peanmeanach\/","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Nick Allen","url":"https:\/\/www.survivalandbushcrafts.com"}},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https:\/\/www.survivalandbushcrafts.com\/scottish-bothy-walks\/#Comment2","dateCreated":"2020-05-04 10:44:34","description":"This book is directly responsible for the closure of peanmeanach Bothy. \r\n\r\nAfter the publication of his first book, peanmeanach has see; an exponential growth in use. The Bothy does not have the infrastructure to deal it( the increase in footfall. \r\n\r\nWhen the landowner found out that mr Allan was planning on including it in second cash in book, he approached mr Allan nd his publisher and requested that it not be included in the book.\r\n\r\nMr Allan point blank refused, and included it anyway. \r\n\r\nThe landowner was then left with no option but to cease the use of peanmeanach Bothy as an open Bothy. \r\n\r\nSuch a shame, 40 years of maintenance end3d by the greed of one man.","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Dave","url":""}}],"about":["Reviews"],"wordCount":731,"keywords":["book","books","bothies","bothy","bothying","Scotland","Scottish","walks"]},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Scottish Bothy Walks","item":"https:\/\/www.survivalandbushcrafts.com\/scottish-bothy-walks\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
