A few years ago I walked across the Isle of Skye off the northwest coast of Scotland. Near the north cape of the island is a former Coast Guard lookout converted to a bothy. It's tiny, with just enough room for 2 bunks, a couple of chairs and a sweeping view over the North Atlantic. Inside a plaque commemorates the man who did much of the work to restore it for public use. Here's a photo:

It's delightful that such a wonderful place can be kept free for public use and is treated with respect by the few who visit it. It has few amenities, pretty much just shelter from the elements, but that counts for a lot when you're self-propelled in the Scottish weather.
