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 50 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 the Scottish weather can throw at them.
