    Tips

    Over Phawhope Bothy is thought to have been the home of William Laidlaw, a famous Scottish poet, and his wife Bessie Scott in the early 18th century. These days, the well-equipped bothy is well-placed for hikers on the Southern Upland Way, breaking-up an unavoidably long section.

      One of my favourite bothies if you don't like roughing it, Over Phawhope is really cosy, with a wood-burning stove and two snug bedrooms with wooden sleeping platforms. Outside there's a stream, picnic table and even a composting loo - luxury!
