  • Hermit, Tom Leppard, 72, has lived in seclusion at this unidentified spot on the Isle of Skye, Scotland for 22 years. He sits contemplating his quiet life in a self-made shelter largely cut-off from the outside world. Wind and rain-proof against harsh Scottish winters, his army survival skills keep him fit and healthy but his memory is fading and suffers muscular ailments. None of his possessions suffer from damp or mildew because everything he owns is wrapped in plastic containers carefully stored in special holes about his camp. Few know his exact whereabouts but concerned locals visit when weather prevents him from crossing a 2km-wide Loch in an old canoe. His days are spent washing, cleaning and carrying out maintenance jobs that keeps his home clean and fresh. Tom is a former solder and sailor and chose this spot when he sought ultimate solitude.
