The Kerracher Man

Eric Macleod looks across the loch at the forlorn wreck of his family's croft. 'How would you like to live there?' he asks his wife Ruth, half joking. After all, they have to think of something to do with the place. But he doesn't expect her instant reply - 'I would love to.' A few short months later, fired by the challenge of an adventure like no other they've known, Eric has given up his promising career in London as an accountant with an international company, and moved to the remote shores of Loch Cairnbawn in the West Highlands. With Ruth and their two little girls, he plans to renovate the croft and make a living from the land. But it's a long leap from management accountant to house builder and crofter - as they soon find out. The MacLeod family's life at Kerracher will fascinate the many people who would love to live such a dream. An accountant by profession, Eric MacLeod, his wife and their two little girls, learn to mix concrete and to build, shear sheep and fish, live with otters and seals.
