Overview

Join me on a walk to the Kettleton Byre Bothy from Morton castle. This walk promises beautiful rolling hills. A Bothy is a great place to visit on a hike, providing a dry place to stop for a break and sometimes chance to learn about the history of the estate and the previous tennants.

This is some info about the bothy and the area: https://www.mountainbothies.org.uk/bothies/southern-scotland/kettleton-byre/

The route starts at morton castle where there is a small amount of parking here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/yHZaYW4LAiQ8Gkia8. Due to the limited parking and poor public transport links, please post if you are driving so car share can be arranged. The attendees will be limited to 10 due to limited parking.
