"Seventy-four-year-old Ken Smith has spent the past four  
decades in the Scottish Highlands. 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.

"From his working-class origins in Derbyshire, Ken always
sensed that there was more to life than an empty nine to five.
Then one day in 1974, an attack from a group of drunken men
left him for dead. Determined to change his prospects, Ken quit
his job and spent his formative years traveling in the Yukon.
It was here, in the vast wilderness of northwestern Canada,
that he honed his survival skills and grew closer to nature.
Returning to Britain, he continued his nomadic lifestyle,
wandering north and living in huts until he finally reached
Loch Treig. Ken decided to lay his roots amongst the dense
woodland and Highland air, and has lived there ever since.
