- The way of the hermit : my incredible 40 years living in the wilderness / by Smith, Ken(Hermit of Treig),author.; Millard, Will,author.;
Ken Smith has spent the past four decades in the Scottish Highlands. He lives alone, with no electricity or running water. His home is a log cabin nestled near Loch Treig, known as 'the lonely loch', where he lives off the land: he fishes for his supper, chops his own wood, and even brews his own tipple. He is, in the truest sense of the word, a hermit. For the first time, Ken shares the story of his life. From his working-class origins in Derbyshire, to the formative years he spent travelling in the Yukon and finally how he came to be the Hermit of Loch Treig. Looking back through decades of diary entries, Ken reflects upon the reasons he turned his back on society, the vulnerability of old age and the awe and wonder of a life lived in nature.- Subjects: Biographies.; Autobiographies.; Personal narratives.; Smith, Ken (Hermit of Treig),; Smith, Ken (Hermit of Treig); Recluses;
