A' Bhuachaille (Scottish Gaelic - "The Shepherd" pron. "Vooaheel")

Inspired by the story of a solitary shepherd, who spends all his life out in the fields and valleys.

He rarely leaves and leads a seemingly lonely and sad existence.

Every day is the same - walking the same route through the valley, eating the same meal, keeping the same routine.

Some might think that he never experiences anything new. But he has everything he needs right where he is.

Every day, he experiences the wonder of everything around him and it fills his heart with happiness.

And, each evening when he walks to the top of the valley and looks down to see everything small and far away, he feels on top of the world.
