ABSTRACT

In November 1962, following their unexplained dismissal from the Cluny Hill Hotel (Caddy 1996: 173ff.), Peter and Eileen Caddy and their three children moved their large touring caravan onto a residential site outside the nearby village of Findhorn. From Victorian hotel to house on wheels was an abrupt transition. Peter Caddy (ibid.: 186) remembers their new habitat as

a bleak, treeless and dreary place, with row after row of mobile homes lined up like shabby privates on parade along the concrete lanes that had served as dispersal bays for aircraft from the adjacent RAF base during the War.
