A Scots woodcutter has revealed how he built a 'hobbit house' despite having never seen the films or read the books.
Indeed, Stuart Grant, a great-grandad who is weeks away from turning 90, built his charming cottage decades before the epic trilogy made it to the silver screen.
The woodcutter moved into the cottage in Tomich, near Inverness, back in 1984 when it had neither a roof or doors. He found the process of doing DIY on the diamond in the rough so satisfying he decided to make it home.
