The day Richard and Linda saw Low Arvie, a run down and neglected
farm in Galloway in rural southwest Scotland, they hoped they had
found their future home. But they could not foresee quite how their
life would change in so many ways.
Beginning with their struggle to move not just themselves and
their belongings, but also Linda's redoubtable ninety-year-old
mother, two-hundred miles north, "The Ladies of Low Arvie"
chronicles Richard and Linda's journey to fulfill their dream.
The Ladies themselves are the herd of pedigree Black Galloway
cows they purchased and brought to Low Arvie to inhabit its acres,
bringing with them much joy and a little tragedy along the way.
Richard and Linda set about learning the ropes of keeping cattle
under EC regulations and to cope with broken machinery and the
vagaries of the Scottish weather, where all four seasons sometimes
occur on the same day. Just how they overcome their hurdles, helped
time and again by coincidence and the kindness of their new
neighbours, and how the Ladies themselves settle into their new
home is at the heart of this gentle and sometimes moving account of
Scottish country life.
