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.

This morning bright and early we saw one of these beauties in Achmelvich bay. He was just a tiddler, coming into shore to have a look around Tife barked at him, as usual! It's the first time I've seen a common dolphin so close to shore, and quite a magical sight!
