'A bothy is a small, basic hut or cottage in a remote place. The door is left unlocked, ready to welcome weary travellers in need of somewhere to stay. Many of them are located in the Scottish Highlands, though others exist in Wales and the Lake District. The terrain where they are built is equally varied, ranging from mountains and meadows to sweeping coastline. For Nicholas J R⁠ White, bothies weren’t just a point of interest in the landscape, but the very thing that allowed him to explore it. Being able to move between these entirely free forms of accommodation allowed him to cover much more ground as he travelled through some of Britain’s wilder reaches on foot – capturing the images⁠ that would eventually become part of Black Dots.'⁠ ⁠ Black Dots, a project by Nicholas J R White (@nicholasjrwhite) as featured in 'This Pleasant Land' ⁠ ⁠ Written by Rosalind Jana (@rosalindjana) and available to pre-order now.
