Not heard of him. There was the bothy squatter by Sandwood Bay who died a few years back

Down in Kintyre we had two hermits on Lorgie Hill by Tayinloan. They had dug in two stone shelters not too far apart and kept separate all week until going down off the hill to get their weekly money at the PO for some groceries. They walked back and stayed apart again until their trip the next week !

I read the book about him, quite interesting.

I too read the book on Rory Smith. It was a very fascinating good read.
I've never heard of the Loch Treig hermit but I'm looking forward to watching the documentary about him. Should be very interesting!

Yes, he lives in the woods on the railway side of the loch. Hope he doesn't show the fish he catches!

Was that not a 1960s pop group - Hermit's Permit's?
