In August 1956 a young shepherd, his wife, two-year-old daughter and ten-day-old son sat huddled in a small boat on Loch Monar in Ross-shire, bound for a tiny, remote cottage at the western end of the loch which was to be their home for the next four years. This classic book is an account of his life through the seasons and the events that shaped the family’s life in Glen Strathfarrar before the area was flooded as part of a huge hydro-electric project.
