    Firhall, a village in Scotland, was built in 2003. It is said that people living there must obey (遵守) some rules.

    They can't feed animals in the village and each family is allowed to have only one dog. Even children are stopped from living in the village for long. So it is a place called "child-hating ogres (魔鬼)". Villagers living there must be over 45 years old. Children and grandchildren can visit and stay here, but there are even limits (限制) on how often this happens.

    But in fact, things are not so serious as it seems. People in Firhall say that the village only wants to offer peace and quietness to people there.

    A manager named Ann in Firhall said that many of those who chose to live in the village had grandchildren and they were always welcome to live. "Living here makes us feel peaceful and quiet and this is what many of us look forward to as we are getting older," she added. "We choose Firhall because of the low house prices here and the location of the village. It is near Inverness Airport," said Jimmy, a retired (退休的) engineer. He also said that Firhall was a beautiful place and there was golf and other kinds of sports there. And that is the reason why he bought the house in Firhall.
