Hi and welcome to our blog! We are John and Jeanette McCarthy, originally from the suburbs of Glasgow, and finally returning to Scotland after 25 years in England. It has long been our dream to live in the highlands, and after many years of spending all our holidays there, we have finally decided to move permanently.

John ran a successful design and shopfitting company in Leicestershire for 16 years, and is now a keen photographer. He has a gallery in the village of Lochinver showcasing his beautiful landscapes, as well as artwork and paintings from local artists.

Jeanette has worked for an English firm of solicitors for 15 years, and remains with them on a consultancy basis. She is the author of two novels set in the highlands.

Together we have three beautiful border collies, all looking forward to their new life away from it all.

Packing

Who would have thought we could have accumulated so much junk! I have taken twelve boxes of books to the charity shop, and still have another twenty! It's going to take at least another two trips to the rubbish tip, and I dearly hope all our stuff is going to fit into the van.
Everyone says moving is incredibly stressful, and they're not wrong. There's just so much to worry about: we have not exchanged contracts yet, although we're supposed to complete a week on Friday, we've still got loads of furniture to sell, I'm still working... it's a nightmare. I keep telling myself to calm down, it'll all be worth it. Hope so!
