Isolation Shepherd (Mar)

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 as a storm raged around them. They were bound for a tiny, remote cottage at the western end
of the loch which was to be their home for the next four years.
Isolation Shepherd is the moving story of those years. Set against the awesome splendour of some of Scotland's most
spectacular scenery, Iain R. Thomson's classic book provides a sensitive, richly detailed account of the shepherd's life
through the seasons and recreates the events that shaped the family's life in Glen Strathfarrar before the area was
flooded as part of a huge hydro-electric project.
