A life on the hills after rejecting city life

In the early 1990s, Jonny Turnbull packed in his job and bought the 7,500 acre Strone Estate in Argyll.

Now, having passed it on to his son, he’s written about the experience.

A ‘magical kingdom’, Strone now boasts woodlands, and more red and roe deer. This fascinating account details what Turnbull learnt along the way, including an amusing chapter detailing various ‘mishaps’ over the last 20 years.

A Hill Place, by Jonny Turnbull, published by Honeybee Books, £25.
