If We Lived in the Highlands

A must for those dreaming of living in the Scottish Highlands, or perhaps just wishing to be re-acquainted with life in a west coast village. This was the dream of Irene and Trevor Rogers who both gave up their professional careers in search of an ideal. When Trevor resigned his position as county buildings surveyor colleagues thought him mad. "Think of your retirement pension," they whined. Trevor was not listening. A search for a cottage proved fruitless, but lead to the purchase of a few acres along a beautiful shore line and later to the acquisition of seventy fir trees, from which they built their new home. The story tells in action-packed detail this modern day pioneering adventure.
