    "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.
