1984 proved to be a seminal year in the lives of my family because
it triggered my decision to move permanently from the country of my
birth-South Africa-to Scotland. There was something magical about
the remote Scottish glen where we spent the year, some ten miles
south of Oban, in Argyle. In contrast to the gathering political
storm clouds and tensions in South Africa, my sabbatical year in
the Bragleenbeg glen that cradled the still waters of Scammerdale
Loch that reflected the open sky and the green hills around, all
speckled with white dots of sheep, was like a breath of fresh air,
and we breathed freely. We realised we needed to find a new
direction in life, though my obsession with acquiring a Roll-Royce
Silver Shadow was probably more of an obstacle than a blessing The
musings that follow convey our progress and experiences in the
ensuing years, and these include memories of the eleven years
running a small hotel in the Scottish Borders, a sea voyage to
Australia, life in the Great Glen of Scotland and on the wild
coastline of Sutherland, followed by the short sojourn in Fife
before we settled in the Central Belt of Scotland. -Charles Muller,
2013.
