Gardening and Lifestyle expert Peter gave audience members a deep dive into the art of hutting - a lifestyle that originated in Scotland where people stay in huts with no running water or electricity.

The author and presenter discussed his knowledge and insight - from foraging and places to stay, to fire making and solar panels. 

Peter said: "It was the warmest of welcomes to us in Bridge of Weir on Friday night, it was great to meet old friends and new and to inspire folk to live 'the Good Life'."

The event was deemed a success by Aileen Jeffrey, owner of The Ginger Cat Bookshop, as she revealed that both stars even joined in for traditional Scottish singing before leaving.

She said: "We were absolutely delighted to have Coinneach and Peter visit Bridge of Weir to talk about their books. 

"Not only did we hear stories that made us want to live the island life but Coinneach and Peter also treated us to some traditional Scottish singing which had us all clapping along.

"We've had great feedback from the event and look forward to our next one. 

"We have signed copies of both Peter and Coinneach's books available in the bookshop for those who missed out."
