| Although I was born and brought up in Rothiemurchus
it was in 1975 when Philippa and I returned to live here. Our three
children, Louisa, James and Alexandra were lucky to have their grandmother
living just across the fields as I had, and although now grown up
they return very often and Rothiemurchus will always be their home.
The area has completely transformed from my childhood, and we see
our job as managing the change in Rothiemurchus so we can keep it
as a special place for each of our hundreds of thousand visitors
as well as those lucky enough to live here.
We prefer to be called Johnnie and Philippa as Mr has never been
the traditional Highland way.
