Bothy ballads are traditional Scottish folk songs that originated in the northeast region of Scotland. They typically tell stories of rural life, work on farms, and the experiences of farm laborers living in bothies (basic farm cottages) during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The lyrics often feature themes of hard work, camaraderie, humor, and sometimes romance.

Bothy Culture was created in the early 1980s in Scotland, inspired by the social gatherings and music of workers who lived in bothies while working in rural areas. It helped foster a sense of community and provided a way to preserve traditional music and storytelling.
