Hey. Something lost in translation there I think?

Best guess; bothy? If so, yes it is normally fine to camp outside a bothy.

Ah! Yeah think slot of people camp outside them use the both then sleep in the tent. Obviously there'd might be the odd exception but basically you can camp pretty much anywhere in Scotland within reason!

Think the OP mean the sleeping pods near Tyndrum and other places. This is Kinlochleven

e..g.

Suggest you phone the owners and ask.

There are camping bods in Shetland. I think they originated n Scandinavia.
