- Synopsis
- An Englishwoman and her family in the 1950s trade life in the city for a small farm near Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands in this beloved memoir. A real classic among Highland books, A Croft in the Hills captures, in simple, moving descriptions, what it was really like trying to make a living out of a hill croft fifty 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 the worst that Scottish winters can throw at them.Praise for A Croft in the Hills&“Katharine Stewart&’s memories are, as she says herself a tale of other times, almost a glimpse of legend . . . Evocative and charming.&” —Scottish Book Collector
