CROFT IN THE HILLS (PB) (NEW)

A Croft in the Hills, first published in 1960, is now an acknowledged classic. It captures, in simple, moving descriptions, what it was like to try making a living out of a hill croft near Loch Ness over 60 years ago. A couple and their young daughter, fresh from city life, immerse themselves in the practicalities of looking after sheep, cattle and hens, mending fences, baking bread and surviving Scottish winters. Their neighbours are few, but among them they find generosity and community spirit that has survived for generations.
