Bothies were 'shut' at the height of lockdown but a project I'm working on took me into the caingorms and Bob Scott's and Corrour were both unlocked and being used.
Most bothies are not locked as they may be needed for genuine emergencies (or, be broken into, causing damage). However they are closed and should not be used. Unless you are an ASS*.
Noting also that at present, if several people are in a bothy, they are almost certainly breaking the law regarding social gatherings, as well as having no permission to be there and breaching social and moral responsibilities.
I personally think it'll be next year before bothies can be used again.
