Cairngorm Bothies and Earth Day
Celebrate Earth Day with an Off-Grid Escape in the Cairngorms
Stepping off the grid at Cairngorm Bothies is more than just a peaceful self catering getaway, It’s a small step towards in raising awareness of sustainable travel and tourism.
Located in the Cairngorms National Park, our 12 handcrafted, eco-friendly bothies offer the perfect setting to slow down, reconnect with nature, relax and reflect on the beauty of the natural world.
Go Off-Grid, Stay Connected (To Nature)
Each of our fully off-grid bothies is thoughtfully designed to minimise environmental impact. Powered by solar energy and heated by wood-burning stoves. Cairngorm Bothies lets you enjoy an eco-friendly stay without sacrificing comfort. The remote woodland location encourages guests to unplug, breathe in the forest air, and appreciate the beauty of nature, something that feels especially meaningful on Earth Day, when so many of us are thinking about our planet and the role we play in protecting it.
This Earth Day, we’re celebrating sustainable travel and the small choices that make a big difference. A stay at Cairngorm Bothies is one of them. Our aim has always been to create a space where guests can enjoy the wild and leave just their footprints.

What to Expect from Your Stay
We get lots of questions about what it’s really like to stay off-grid — here’s a quick FAQ for first-time guests:
Do the Cairngorm Bothies have electricity?
Yes – powered by solar! Enough for lighting and charging small devices.
Can I bring my dog to Cairngorm Bothies? Of course. All of our bothies are dog-friendly, and there’s plenty of space for woodland adventures.
Is it suitable for families?
Definitely. With board games, forest walks, geocaching and plenty of wildlife to spot, there’s something for everyone.
Make Earth Day an Experience, Not Just a Date
Instead of just turning off the lights for an hour or planting a tree (both great ideas, by the way!), why not spend your Scottish staycation immersed in the very landscape we aim to protect? A stay at Cairngorm Bothies lets you live out your eco-values in real time—supporting off-grid escapes, eco retreats, and Scotland’s wild, beautiful places.
