**Tomnavey Farm: A Legacy of the Hill Shepherd Grove** Nestled in the heart of the Scottish Highlands Tomnavey Farm stands as a testament to the age-old traditions of hill shepherding. This grove is to pay homage to the enduring legacy of James Smith, a dedicated shepherd whose passion for the land and its animals has shaped a rich heritage over generations. If you listen hard enough, you can almost hear the distant call of his flock echoing around you. The iconic red tractor, an emblem of the farm's spirit, sits proudly amidst the landscape, symbolizing hard work and dedication to the land. This grove is a memorial gifted from Alex, James's devoted wife, born from a love that has never ended. Its creation serves as a healing place, a sanctuary where the legacy of shepherding intertwines with the essence of nurturing and their unbreakable connection. As the trees grow over the years and branches reach for the sky, she knows that one day she will be able to hold out her hand for James to hold once more. In this tranquil setting, James's legacy lives on, offering a space for reflection, connection, and celebration of his life, his tenacity and his life long contribution to the heritage of the Scots Hill Farmer.
