If you chance upon one of the 103 bothies in Great Britain that are maintained by the Mountain Bothies Association you might also become the first person to find a new book hidden amongst the mountain shelters - a 66-page newsprint publication that might just save a life – even if it means setting fire to it. 46 artists and writers, led by Edward Summerton, Senior Lecturer at the University’s Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design, have created 200 copies of ‘Shelter Stone: The Artist and the Mountain’ and dispersed it among bothies and shelters in England, Scotland and Wales, as well as Iceland and even the French Alps. Made from 70 percent recycled midge trap waste and in collaboration with the Mountain Bothies Association (MBA), the 66-page Shelter Stone aims to both entertain and perhaps even become a vital survival tool for those hunkered down in a bothy for a night. Featuring a mix of creative poetry and art, with writers selected by John Glenday and artists selected by Edward Summerton, this November will mark the halfway point in the year-long project, which was launched last summer at its namesake the Shelter Stone at Glen Avon in the Cairngorms.
