From Issue Three of Hidden Scotland Magazine
The Growing Community of Glenelg
Home between the mountains and sea
Words by Dave Pascoe · Photographs by Fran Mart

Meet the people returning to a more sustainable relationship with the land they call home.
The Scottish Highlands always evoke strong feelings of nostalgia. This sentimentality, whose Greek roots allude to our longing to return home, has become the foundation upon which so many of us travel or seek to build our futures. Memories of pitching tents on mountainside adventures or snuggling by open fires on rainy days linger on into dreams of where to make our homes and how they ought to feel. Such longings are hard to wriggle free from.
