I was listening to this rather than watching as I am drawing a picture of the Storr on Skye. I need the aural stimulation from the Highlands to help make it work.

It's common practice to sweep up and remove all rubbish when you leave a bothy in an attempt to keep them clean and tidy, but unfortunately that doesn't always happen and you can find leftover rubbish sometimes. Yes, something like this isn't common in many countries, so I certainly don't take bothies for granted and really appreciate that they are made available for all here.
