Prince Harry and the Difficulty Of Coming Back After A Grand Exit

I first heard that Prince Harry was coming back on the village WhatsApp group. At 7.36 on Thursday morning, Morag posted: PRINCE HARRY IS COMING HOME. There were no details. This was immediately a problem. Effie replied: To Scotland? Morag said: Britain. Elspeth: For good? Morag: Apparently. Agnes: Has he still got a house? Nobody knew. Then Jean, who has an admirable instinct for the practical difficulty hidden inside every international event, wrote: He’ll need a kettle. American ones are different. I had not yet had breakfast. I put my phone face down and made tea. The reports, when I

There comes a moment when one realises that food is no longer a matter of preference but of performance.

Bothies are a great way for groups of 5 or less to seek shelter from the elements while visiting remote areas and enjoying the glorious Scottish outdoors. Bothies are a wonderful example of community teamwork and when everyone follows basic guidelines, visiting one is almost always a pleasant experience. Bothies are simple structures that lack most creature comforts outside of four walls and a roof. However, with careful planning, you can pack in essentials and a few extras to create a warm and welcoming arrangement in some of the most scenic and breathtaking locations around Scotland. And because the shelters
