Description
In 1972, Eric and Ruth MacLeod left behind the comforts of city life to build a new home in an abandoned croft house in the Scottish West Highlands. For sixteen years, they lived off the land, learning to shear sheep, run small businesses, and introduce modern technology to their remote community. Their story is one of self-sufficiency and resilience, set against the stunning backdrop of the Highlands' rugged landscape. The couple's unconventional lifestyle was shaped by the wild creatures that inhabited the moor and shore, as well as the unpredictable sea that surrounded them. This book tells the remarkable true story of Eric and Ruth MacLeod's extraordinary adventure in the Scottish wilderness.
