An Cladach to be closed due to Bothy Bible
Posted: Sun Oct 06, 2019 9:39 am
The owners of the MBA-maintained An Cladach bothy on Islay will be closing this bothy for 6 months a year due to information provided in the (MBA-endorsed - their logo is in the book) Scottish Bothy Bible by Geoff Allan. Surely this has to be a very sad day for our bothies and the outdoor community as a whole as a bothy will now be closed due to obvious commercialisation? The owners cannot be blamed at all for their, IMO, entirely understandable decision, but the MBA were warned over the last few years by many members that such direct commercialisation would lead to such inevitable and awful consequences.
