Why do we call our shed a bothy?


In order to understand why? You must firstly understand what a Bothy is. It is an old English word meaning a basic form of Shelter commonly used by Land workers, night watchmen & travellers to rest their weary heads. They were Commonplace in Wales, Scotland Eire & some Scandinavian countries. Became popular once more post lockdown as a gathering place for men to meet. And adopted as a nickname for Pontypridd Men`s Shed
