Who We Are
BOTHY PROJECT is a unique and independent charitable arts organisation operating in a set of rural contexts, providing creative residences in bespoke small-scale, off-grid creative residency spaces to explore creativity, landscape and living simply. We provide creative residences for practitioners in visual arts, craft & design, music, literature and performance, as well as thinkers, researchers, and people local to each bothy. Residents are able to use their residencies to explore creativity, landscape and living simply. Active in Scotland since 2011, when it was initiated by artist Bobby Niven and architect Iain MacLeod, its network currently comprises Inshriach Bothy in the Cairngorms National Park and Sweeney’s Bothy on the Isle of Eigg.
We share our activity through our public programme which sees Inshriach, Sweeney’s and Pig Rock Bothies as sentinels for communication. The public programme captures the best experience and learning generated across the residencies. This material is actively shared through talks, podcasts and posters.
Bothy Project’s trading subsidiary BOTHY STORES was set up in 2017 to retail the Artist Bothy – a bothy based on Inshriach Bothy – and products commissioned from artists, designers and makers through Bothy Project’s residency programme. Income generated by Bothy Stores is reinvested into Bothy Project providing vital unrestricted income to support creative activity.
The relationship between Bothy Project and Bothy Stores gives both organisations unique qualities – Bothy Project has a route to donated income at a scale that has impact, and Bothy Stores benefits from Bothy Project’s strong cultural recognition and social impact.
