John Burns - Bothy Tales

In a remote Highland bothy, a weary traveller finds shelter from the storm. In his rucksack he has coal for the fire, candles to ward off the darkness, and a little whisky to bring some cheer. The wanderer invites you to join him at the fireside. Bothy Tales is a blend of standup comedy, storytelling, and theatre, presented by John D. Burns and based around his book of the same name.

John has spent over forty years among the mountains of the Scottish Highlands, and he has entertained audiences at festivals across the UK. His books tell of his adventures in this iconic landscape and have become classics for those who love wild places.
