Description:

In this sequel to Life in Lethinnis, Rory offers a further collection of pen-portraits from
those early years in the place he has called Lochuisge. In the
tradition of Lillian Beckwith's The Hills is Lonely, or Sybil Armstrong's
A Croft in Clachan, the anecdotes inevitably revolve around the
strong characters that made up this isolated community and
became part of everyday life. With the author continuing to earn a
living as a professional biologist, the characters featured are both animal and human as the various tales
capture the atmosphere of living and working in this tight-knit community into which he and his wife were so
immediately welcomed.
After 20 years leading a research group in wildlife biology at the University of Southampton, Rory Putman
decided to 'retire' to the Highlands of Scotland, moving with his wife to a croft at the edge of a small and
somewhat inaccessible village on the west coast.
