Description

James McRory Smith lived for over 30 years in one of Britain's most remote cottages, Strathchailleach. Located in Sutherland, this isolated spot offers no access road, running water, or electricity.

The harsh environment and lack of human company posed significant challenges to James' way of life. Yet he thrived, relying on his wits and resourcefulness to survive off the land. This revised biography provides an inspiring account of a modern-day hermit who turned his back on the luxuries of the 20th century.

James' story offers a rare insight into an alternative way of life that is far removed from the norm. As concerns about consumption and consumerism grow, James' practical approach to self-sufficiency may inspire those seeking a more frugal lifestyle. This biography also tells a true-life story of adventure and survival.
