The moon's our nearest neighbour

by Ghillie Başan

Ghillie and her husband leave Edinburgh for a remote cottage at the foot of the Cairngorms, aiming to restore it and build photographic studios. The bleak weather almost thwarts them, but their story is peppered with whisky-breathed farmers, mothers-in-law arriving in high heels, and two babies.
