  • I was stuck with nowhere to stay and needed to charge batteries and dry out before the difficult push to Cape Wrath, so I asked for help on Twitter. In response, singer and crofter Vivien Scotson offered me her Airbnb wagon to sleep in at Oldshoremore for no charge. There were fresh flowers and the interior Illuminated by candlelight when I arrived in the dark. Oldshoremore, Sutherland, Scotland.

  • James MacRory, known as Sandy, lived in/appropriated Strathchailleach Bothy for 32 years until 1996. I tried to stay here (it was technically a public bothy) when he lived there in 1992, having walked from Inverness. I was 17 and travelling alone. It was late and raining as I tried to unlatch the door, at which point he stuck his fierce bearded face out of the doorway and told me to "fuck of out of his hoose" before slamming the door in my face. I decided to sleep in my tent!
