WE BOUGHT some LAND in SCOTLAND!!! Our Journey to Buying the Plot... (Off Grid Living Plans).
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 гру 2024
- For the last 5 years I have been living in a van, a journey which started alone and for the last few years has been alongside my girlfriend, Rachel. We spent almost a year living in the van full time and travelling the Scottish Highlands, with a goal in the back of our minds - to ultimately find, and buy, a plot of land that we may someday be able to build our own little off grid home on.
This video takes you back through that journey, visiting and failing to find the right plot - which is something that finally fell into place this week.
I haven't yet decided how much of the next steps I'm going to share; but in one way or another, in detail that doesn't compromise our sanity or security, I thoroughly look forward to bringing you with us.

In a world of chaos, videos like this are so needed. Keep chasing your dreams young ones, there is another way, and this video proves it. Good luck with everything you do.
The best plan for those Spruce trees is to get rid of them. The are planted in a way to make them grow fast beyond the root structure. In a storm, they will fall like dominoes. Chop them down, use the wood to build your house and try to plant Caledonian woodland. Those trees will survive the elements, be further apart and will be more supportive of song birds, red squirrels, pine martins, owls, bats, etc... I clicked the subscribe button. I wish you both all the best! Oh... A Rowan tree, planted beside your house is a sign of good luck!
Its planted because it grows fast on poor soil and likely helps drainage where they are planted in the video, go on and cut all them down, best check you're not going to ruin anything first and that what ever trees you want to plant will actually grow in your lifetime. You know how they take a while normally? I'll give you a hint, I planted a tree in the nature garden of my school in primary five, I was an adult with kids of my own when it was fully grown.
@@TheJpf79 They are planted close together to encourage competition for Sunlight. In their natural habitat of North America, they grow naturally further apart, slower and have more established root balls. The reason for the soil being poor is because of the shed needles and turn the soil acidic. The soil would have supported a more varied species of trees such as Scots Pine, Ash, Silver Birch, Rowan, Aspen, etc...
I very much doubt that they were planted in rows for excess water, it's for the wood that goes inside your roof.
Who knew that trees took time to grow...?! Thank you for reminding me. Done sooner rather than later and they will still be able to enjoy them within their lifetime. If they don't cut the Spruce, there will always be the risk that they fall onto their new home in a storm.
@@saltyhaggis If that was for wood that goes inside roofs, then they would have been chopped down and be inside someones roof, I'm not even going to bother with the rest of your word salad, some of them are planted in a row along the top of a slope, use your eyes instead of pretending to use your brain.
@@TheJpf79 Spruce is absolutely planted for harvesting, not for excess water. I am not making assumptions here, I know it to be a fact. Jesus... The Internet is a boiling pot of stupidity at times.
@@TheJpf79 Q. ‘When’s the best time to plant a tree..?’ A. ‘20 years ago, or right now’
Having spent 35 years sitting behind a desk, I wish I had the foresight to take on a project like this. I can live out my dreams through your channel. There will be tough challenges but good luck to you both. Best wishes
Thank you! Enjoy the journey with us 👍🏼
If your in your forty’s or fifty’s u can live your dream but in your seventy’s absolutely no!
@@marywalker2896 agree but the older you are and have an established family/life a lot more considerations come into play and not everyone around you may share the same dreams
Do what you want to do, push yourself outside your comfort zone. So many people are quitting the mundane life to something they've always wished.
Quit your job and travel, make a channel and move forward with your life.
Sitting behind a desk for all those years is quite a commitment.. time to stop counting the days.
Congratulations.. and welcome to Scotland. We bought a croft in the Outer Hebrides a few years ago.. the land was fallow for 14 years and the house was empty, for 10 years... it's been a lot of work, and it still is! But every moment spend on it, improves our home and our lives, step by step. Enjoy!
I was right there with you guys in spirit I too was shedding a tear or two in that moment you both had. I love the dynamic between the both of you and your down to earth attitude and value to life. You both are doing exactly what every your couple in this world should do. I love it I have found my next exciting couples journey to watch of creating a life in Gods nature.
Congratulations! Found it quite moving seeing your reactions to your new land! I live in the Highlands and realise how much I take things for granted..like fresh air, lochs, nature, woodland etc.
Welcome to Scotland...look forward to seeing the progress

Thank you, I don’t think we will ever get use to just how lucky we are to have this place in the beautiful highlands.
I'm curious, are the midges really such a common issue in the Highlands, are they a constant issue, how do you deal with them?
@mariusraaths3490 They are an absolute nuisance in the Summer, between May and September.. commonly found near rivers, lochs and in glens..and more common on the west coast of Scotland/Highlands. They don't like the wind! They are smallish so can get through your bog standard amazon insect netting. I'm not sure there's a 100% effective repellent unfortunately.
I was in Skye and Shieldaig in a campervan in September and got bitten alive 😩
@@mariusraaths3490 only holidayed in scotland , when they come down in a mist its bad, ive left part of my blood in the scottish highlands inside the blighters. Some people seem to attract them more than others. Dont know how well the remedies work , like eating marmite. why the scots wear kilts i never know
That would be heaven on earth for Me❤
The land you have ended up with is by far the best. All the luck in the world. I hope to achieve the same some day.
We absolutely agree 👍🏼 this is meant to be our home! I hope you find your bit of land.
There’s this wonderful thing called fate… the fact that you lost the first two… it was meant to be! So happy for you guys!!!
If you can, speak to forestry commission and ask them if you can fell the standing dead trees, and then build a log cabin.
If you need another chippy to help, give me a shout! 👍🏻
Fate was definitely on our side with this one. So happy we found our land when we did. We will definitely get in contact with the forestry commission at some point. I’ll keep you in mind fellow wood god 👍🏼
Wife and I will both be watching your progress. You seem such a lovely couple, and it brings back memories of when we started out on life's great journey, in the 80's. There will be good times, weary times, times when you will question your decisions, and times when you feel that you are on your own. Keep moving forward, and it will all work out wonderfully, I am sure. All the best.
Thank you, such a lovely message and I will remember it when times get rough. We’ve got this 💪🏼
With my wife as my labourer, I've been the multi trades builder, engineer and architect for a few of our major projects. Our local authority is PKC, and we knew that they would allow us to submit our own drawings for building warrants and planning permission, but not all local authorities do, so the first thing you need to do is check with yours to see if you can bypass a chartered architect and engineer. Good luck with your project, I can promise you both that anything is possible if you work together as a team with grit, determination and multifaceted skill sets - just look after your relationship, that's the best advice I can give. It can and will push both of you to your limits, my wife and I just scrapped through in the end with our marriage intact. We can now look back at our pictures and laugh, but at times it was not funny at all!! Also, please don't burn yourselves out, I know I did, but I'm much older now... I couldn't do it again that's for sure! Take a break when your body and mind tells you to. Good luck!
We bought a wreck in Ireland and took 8 years to renovate it working for clients in the day, building at home in spare time... cut out middle men and ask tradesmen questions, they are generally happy to help. Stay happy and look back often to pat yourselves on the back, dwelling on what needs to be done is daunting so don't do that so much. Do as least a bit every day and one day you'll have a home... caravan living ain't so bad and very easy to keep warm. Midges might be an issue so take out undergrowth and coniferous!
☘ Blessings of joy and insight.
💖🙏💫
Such sound advice.
Never heard of you guys before, you may be pleased to know the youtube algorithm has pushed this video out. i enjoyed every minute of it. Look forward to seeing what you do with it and what you discover there. Congratulations on finally getting your land. Subscribed.
Exact same
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the sub.
Same here

When the joy in your heart somehow spills from your eyes is a wonderful feeling. Isabella may not only be your new best friend, but also your guardian angel. Wishing you the very best of luck; I shall be here to watch :)
Thanks you for the lovely comment 😁
Wow. My lord let this be the first generation of young couples to set on the Big change to life, back to our roots back to our lands, in harmony with nature.🙏🙏🙏
Go for it dear ones, go for your instinct....your tears have a bigger meaning than you realise. You are the pioneers of what is to come, you are the change. Stay brave, stay strong and true to yourselves. Keep your heart this promise.❤❤❤❤❤❤️😉🤝🙏🙏🙏
Get more young folk out of the cities again
I love the reaction to walking to your property....the look of dreams coming true is priceless. Well done guys, good luck ❤
Thank you, it definitely took me by surprise seeing the land for the first time 😁
2 Mins 23 seconds in I’m hooked on what may lay ahead for these youngeens, I’m 61 and still want to this, I hail from 1 of the Scottish islands so it’s not a daunting thought to me but it is for my city dwelling wife 😊.
Following you 2 x
The first time I've ever commented on a video, I was watching this and thinking how amazing it looked and how beautiful it is that you went for other plots and ended with the best one.
I was thinking how excited I am for you guys, and was also intrigued about the cairn.....then I saw the name.
My Granny was a Chisholm, I just felt compelled to say hi and I hope it's a wonderful experience, I'm looking forward to seeing the future videos! 😊
I imagine that the great great great grandmother felt just like you guys when she first seen this property! That was a moment.
Well for starters the land would not have been covered in mono culture commercial conifer forests completely devoid of all life . She would have seen some the original teaming with wildlife forests before they were all cut down for the wars, industry and farming etc. Lucky if there is 2% of the original Caledonian forest left sadly.
So good to see, we went through the same emotions 7 years ago, now been off grid in a remote forest for 5 years. Your going to love it
So refreshing to see down to earth, appreciative and deserving people succeeding in life. Some of us have to work for everything we have so it is lovely when the universe (or fate) lends a helping hand.
Thank you! We have worked hard to get here and will keep working hard to make this dream a reality ☺️
I think its the nicest plot of land from the others. Cant wait to see what you make of it. I am excited for you. Congratulations xx
Thank you!
In a respectful way, your wife is super cute she gets so excited bless her! she’s a keeper bro. Good luck on your journey I am hoping to go off grid in the near future.
I'm so happy for you both .
You've bought a little bit of heaven ❤ congratulations.
Thank you so much!
Good luck to you both, if I wasn’t 74 years old I’d be doing the same. I’m looking forward to following you on your journey. ❤️
Congratulations guys & what a fabulous video, I felt very moved watching your obvious delight. Good luck with everything, super exciting !
Thank you so much!
@@livinginkevlar You're very welcome. We moved to Scotland over 20 years ago & now have two Scottish grandsons. All the best to you both.
Congratulations! Your property looks magical. How wonderful for you both. Look forward to seeing your adventure unfold. You’ll build something spectacular! And I love that you have embraced Isabella . She will be watching over you. Best of luck 😊
Good luck you two, we moved up here 7 years ago from Somerset and love it ... the locals are so great and welcoming 🙂
Another new subscriber here after seeing this in my recommendation list. I watched with joy and also teared up as you described the journey you have been on and showed us your beautiful plot. Looking forward to watching future episodes. Welcome to the Highlands, you won’t regret it. Many congratulations to you both.
Awesome! Thank you!
I watched the second episode first, the backstory on this is amazing. REALLY looking forward to seeing what happens. I'll run this through my regular list of subscribers. Congrats on the amazing purchase
Awwww, How Lovely. Good Luck Good People.
Guys, I'm honored to be able to follow your journey. All those tears and hard work, research and all those miles went into this will well worth it in the end; you build for yourselves from now on. It's so amazing to see the beginning and I'm excited to see what the future brings for you two. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Thank you so much!
We believe in what is meant to be will be. We have a nice bit of land similar maybe more woodland. What I would warn you about and you are probably going to have deer there so be aware of the ticks. They can be brutal, we had a husky and a nightmare. Unfortunately we lost him earlier in the year. But thought it be an idea to mention it. We have now had our land for two years and it is much better now. You will soon learn and it is very rewarding and calming. Good luck in your adventure.
Welcome to the Highlands, we are so lucky up here! We also have land to clear, we're still working on it but it's great seeing the progress and certainly keeps us fit! That looks like a fabulous plot, you will enjoy making plans, clearing the land and building yourselves a home, how lovely.
Thank you, nice to meet someone els with land up here.
Okay, the algorithm brought me here and I'm happy to be a new subscriber, if that helps. I was young once and know the excitement you both feel. Live your dream! I'll be watching from the sidelines as long as you take me with you. At 64 I'm headed on a first time dream of seeing the world. Moving from USA to Portugal so I can discover all of Europe. I hope your dream becomes everything you imagined!
Nice comments, Europe has much to offer and takes a lifetime to see a fraction of it. What visa did you obtain so that you can stay for a long time?
I will be getting a D7 (known as retiree visa). Still have to get things aligned here to make it happen, Sell a1967 Mustang, house, three other vehicles. Downsizing to start anew.
Your video popped up in my feed and I'm now excited to see your dreams come to fruition! The land looks amazing and full of potential! Nice you have a decent size hill nearby too!
Welcome to Scotland and to your very own beautiful paradise of lovely trees and bird sounds. Great move and good luck going forward 👏
Thanks so much! 😊
Having a piece of family history from the original owners dating back to the 1800s, is absolutely incredible!! 😮 That piece of land is breathtaking, it looks like something straight from an apple wallpaper 😯🙌
the fact that people get so emotional and heart-pounding when finding a derelict piece of land to buy only shows how broken society is & how a "home" no matter what, is an innate need. 100k years ago, we could find a place, settle down, and build a shelter without being arrested by police for trespassing or for breaching planning laws. Having experienced both the top and bottom of society multiple times from my view, I can confidently say it’s absurd how today only the wealthy enjoy basic freedom that we've all had since the dawn of time.
Aww big congratulations to you !! How fantastic ! Really looking forward to the next adventures xx
Thank you, we can’t wait to show you all!
Well done, guys... escape to the wilds !
Beautiful plot.
Many thanks!
Really moving. Well Done. Cried my eyes out.
Brilliant! Glad it wasn’t just us ☺️ thank you.
Really lovely video, thank you for sharing this special moment, congratulations. I'm excited to see your progress.
Thank you so much for rooting for us, we're excited to have you along for the ride too.
Thank you. I’m glad you liked the video, plenty more to come ☺️
You two make me think of me and my wife when we were younger. Congratulations on acquiring your piece of heaven. Very few people get to do what you're doing. We relocated 6 years ago from South Africa to the UK and are also looking at moving up to Scotland somewhere. All the best with your journey. Looking forward to your next video.
Thank you! Hope you find your slice of heaven in Scotland as well.
Welcome to Scotland, I'm looking forward to your endeavours.
Thank you! Look forward to sharing it with you all.
Well done ,looks like heaven. Good luck for all to come. I am sure you 2 will make it a dream home .🙏
So happy for you both can't wait to see how you do it
Haha me too! It’s going to be a big project. thank you.
Hi congratulations to you both. And good luck with your land.
Thank you so much!
So chuffed for you guys. Looking forward to the build series already. Bring on the deserved 100K subs I've been hoping you have.
Thank you, we can’t wait to get started. And lots of content to come on this. Here’s to the 100k subs haha
Serendipity to you both. Sending you love and hugs. x
Thank you!
From one Scotsman to another future Scotsman and women, welcome you'll love it here
I'm so chuffed for you both (and not at all jealous...). I'm actuality an admin assistant in a small planning and architecture firm in Fife, Scotland, and sorry if its already been said or you're aware and I'm just repeating stuff you already know, but planning and building standards regulations are different in Scotland than England (a few of our clients have been previously caught out cause they check the wrong guidance). I haven't worked there for long enough to give detailed advice but I hope that it all goes well for you. There is so much info on each council's website albeit sometimes a maze to find!
These are the kinds of builds I love to keep up with at work so I am really excited to watch along!
New subscriber here. Great video and well done for following your dreams! The advice that you didn’t want and don’t need is to let the land be for a year. See what comes in all weathers and all seasons. Where do the issues run in torrential rain? Where do the snow drifts gather? Where does the wind blow hard when it blows? How does the wildlife like to use the land? Let it speak to you first and introduce itself properly, in all its moods. Best of luck!!
Thank you so much for the comment, sadly we can only stay on the land for 28 days of the year in Scotland until the land is registered as residential otherwise I’d already be on the land getting to know it.
Huge congratulations to you both form Scotland . I have lived in Scotland all my life . Il live on the East Coast . Just found your channel. Can’t wait to see what you both do with your stunningly beautiful land . Wish you all the luck in the world . And to Isabella can’t wait to hear her back story . ❤
Welcome to the Highlands. Wouldn't move anywhere else in the world.
Looks like an awesome plot!
I have a few suggestions, firstly it does look like those trees are past due to be taken out, I would check the owner as its one of 3 -private owned, community owned or Forestry commission. Knowing how owns it might help understand when and if they will be cut. Several years ago I had one of those trees land on my house, it made a real mess. If they do cut them down, I would be very cautious about leaving a thin boundary of them, they are grown packed in and it forces the tree to focus on hight and not solid root systems. They will blow over. I would probably plant some natural hard and soft wood trees within your own boundary now in preparation of the big pines going down (it will look nasty for a couple of years, but with most in the area now being re planted with more variety it will be on in the long run).
How close to Inverness are you? If you need some more stones and have a trailer to move some I have on the croft you can have for free, but I'm not lifting any of the bolders 😂
You are welcome in Scotland and we are very pleased to see people back in our Highlands.
22:37 I’m crying with you !!!
So so so worth the wait
The universe and the ancestors of the the land were seeing if you were patient and truly driven enough to take the knock backs and close calls and rewarded you with a wee slice of heaven and on earth !!!
I’m Scottish born and raised
But loved away to nz and now USA and this is amazing to see
I am so proud of you both !!!
I truly am
Subscription activated
Thank you! And welcome aboard, it’s going to be a great ride 😁
So amazing you are an early part of the new world we are co creating. Great guardians of the land
I hope the previous family see this and see just how much it means to you both. They can rest assured that you will honour their memories. New sub here. Best of luck to you both.
Forgot to ask. Please can you plant a few big oak trees? It'll encourage more wildlife. You have a large area of trees that wildlife struggles to survive in. If you stand in the middle of them you'll notice its silent. No harm asking. 🙂✌
I’d love to plant some oak trees on our land 👍🏼
Many congrats it looks fabulous. As done I said its fate. When you miss out on a property you tend to think you will never find another but there is always another and most likely better. The longer you look the more you tune into what you want and what’s important. I’m 61 and just starting over again after divorce and I found a place I never dreamed I could get. Over two acres , river frontage, fishing rights and a stone barn and workshop it’s mad. I will watch your progress and wish you all the best. Andy Uk
wow cam and Rachel you kept this quiet haha so chuffed for you 2 great video as always
It was the hardest thing to keep it quiet on both of our channels hahah - we coped by just dropping off the face of the earth for a few months while it all went through. 😅😅
@sheisremote you sure made us all wait I was wondering why there wasn't in a while so pleased for you both
Haha we had to! Sadly buying it took a lot longer than expected.
Brilliant Congratulations... LOOKING FORWARD TO FOLLOWING YOUR JOURNEY.
Thank you, can’t wait to share it with you all!
Wow so excited for you looking forward to following your journey. Good luck 🎉
Thank you so much!!
It's looking good, stick with it and ignore these halfwit negative comments. Good luck to you.
Congratulations to you both and obviously they doggies, I will be watching this next series very closely as I'm a man that dose everything himself.
I'm sure it will be hard work and lots of emotions, but it's going to be so worth it.🎉
We did it for the dogs really! 😂 if you see me do anything wrong let me know, I’ve got a lot to learn. Cheers
Congratulations guys, just found your channel and look forward to following your new adventure 😊. I got emotional for you as I could see exactly what it means to you finding your dream plot ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! ☺️
Congrats guys! Very excited to see the build develop in the future :)
Thank you, can’t wait to get building now!
So many positives on first sight. Lots of weather protection from those Pine trees but they won't be there forever. Midges in the summer will be tough going in the woods. The first thing I thought was a Chainsaw big enough for an Alaskan mill, firewood. The trees will make it tough for your off-grid Solar plans but change the house design to incorporate the panels on the roof at a higher elevation to maximise solar gain. You guys will be good. Nobody died of hard work. Well done.
Congratulations 🎉
We built a timber frame house on our property in NI 2 years ago. Our builder works with a local university looking at thermal efficiency. He saved us a fortune on our SIP walls. He is a certificated Passive Home builder, but unlike most builders we met he was not out to rip us off. The insulation was blown into the SIP frames and bonded with graphite. He now builds pods. He might be worth a look as you are building your own home for as much or as little as you need. I’d love a plot like yours with a little off grid tiny house
Thanks, that’s good to know. Send over any details and links and we will check it out. Looking for as much help and advice as possible!
I watched a self build years ago and it was insulated using straw bails
Congratulations!
I just found your channel.
It will be so exciting to follow you and see what you are up to on the plot.
Thank you!
I'm not jealous at all. No, really... 🙂
I wish you both all the luck in the world with your future projects on your new land. Can't wait to see your progress - strength to your arm(s) 🙂
Thank you!
Looks like the start of an epic adventure, what a beautiful plot, was worth the wait I think. Nice having that history of the plot and a connection to others that decided to take root there many generations ago, and now it is your turn. Brilliant, wishing you both all the best and look forward to following your journey! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Wish you all the best for the future … an looking forward to the new life you are building
Thank you!
I do hope that you haven't drastically underestimated the sheer amount of work involved with this project, or more to the point the significant cost attached. I wish you both the very best of luck.....you are going to need it
Cam's been a carpenter for 15 years and is very used to doing this for other people, just time to apply it to us! We're very aware there's going to be a lot of time, effort and money involved - but there's time, effort and money that goes into paying off a mortgage too. Nothing good in life comes easy ey 😅
This looks like a lot of work. Very exciting but I imagine it will also be very daunting as well. Good luck. Can’t wait to follow your journey and look forward to seeing your completed home.
Fingers crossed!
Welcome to your new slice of Scotland and all the best in the process of building your new home. Scotland has been good and kind to us since we moved here in 2019 and I hope she is as good and kind to you.
Congratulations and welcome to beautiful Scotland.
Thank you! 😃
Congratulations on the stunning property and welcome to Scotland! Looking forward to seeing what happens next in your adventure!
Good luck with your future adventures on your new land!! And welcome to Scotland 🏴!!
Thank you!
You popped up on my feed. I enjoy watching young uns living their lives simply and following their dreams. Good will and happy days to you on your life adventures
What a fantastic opportunity for you both, looking forward to your progress with this project 👍🏼
I’m so proud of you guys! You have your dream land and OMG it’s epic!!! The bird song was everything ❤
Thanks Meg, we owe it all to you ❤️
MEGA! What a dream!
You’ve got a lot of hard work ahead but just imagine the end goal 🤩
Big dreams coming true are the best! It’s been a long time coming but we did it. Now the fun begins!
Awwwwwe, im so chuffed for you guys! Live the dream baby!
Thank you ☺️
Brilliant, I will be watching closely as this is exactly what I have been looking to do. Enjoy
Thank you! Enjoy following along 👍🏼
❤❤❤ looking forward to your journey
Missed you guys. Was wondering this week what plans must be afoot and here comes my answer. Congratulations. Now off to watch the episode 😂😂😇😇🥰🥰
Thank you so much!!! We're very excited.
Hi, Wishing you both and the dogs, all the luck and Best wishes in the World!! A new beginning. Fantastic!!✌🤞
The Algorithm brought me here, but I've subscribed to help your budget! I look forward to seeing what you do with the place.
Don't get attached to these trees - they are just an alien crop and will be gone before you know it. You need to look forward to what comes after them, which will be a much better forest, rather than a cold, dark, relatively-lifeless plantation. Trust me on this, it will grow rapidly and your surroundings will be much better.
If you can buy that narrow strip at the bottom, do so! You will be able to open up your view and plant something much more appealing.
If it is foresty land the same species will likely be planted after felling. And these trees may well not be felled for another 20 years.
@@bv3bv334 That seems very unlikely and makes me wonder if you are unaware of current forestry practice in Scotland? At the absolute minimum, the plantation edges would be softened with a belt of native species, which would surround the plot. In any event, the estate has been in the same family for many years and the current owners appear to be conservation-minded. In all probability there will be a forest management plan published in advance of felling, with an opportunity for public consultation.
@@rb9580 You think every new plantation in Scotland will have its borders "softened", as you describe it, with native species. What does "softened" mean? If you are alluding to the planting of native stock for biodiversity, then it is now required. HOWEVER, the complete border? Nonsense. And a requirement to "surround the plot"...please point me to legislation that requires this. As for the current owners..."appear to be conservation-minded"....where do you get this information from? And your last sentence is utter nonsense. Whoever owns the land will harvest as and when they choose, and have absolutely no requirement to "consult" any member of the public prior to felling, or replanting.
I’m so happy for you - worth the wait -the land is stunning. Excited to follow your journey
Thank you so much!
A huge congratulations to you both 🎉
I was just thinking about you two today and if you had any news and yes best news ever well done and I’m not jealous much 😊
Looking forward to seeing you put your mark on the land
All the best ozzy
Thank you so much, we're so happy!
Thank you, we hoped to tell everyone sooner but it took longer than expected. Can’t wait to start on the land!
Well done to you! Scotland is beautiful but the weather is not the best but you love it and are on your way to building your dream place! I will keep an eye on any updates! thank you for sharing
Brilliant news! Well done guys!! Looking forward to the vids 👌🏼
Thank you! Plenty to come 👍🏼
Thank you for taking us along!! Loved your video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Congratulations on your property i love Scotland my self they have wonderful vewis you will injoy your self there iv just subscribe so I will be watching know on see you both on the next one stay safe
Thank you!
Well done after a long search you got the right piece meant for you..small steps, dont rush it..I have three off grid homes..a cabin on a remote island, a 4 bay pole shed on a 10acre farm block, and a small house built in Thailand, all use solar and water tanks..An old Massey ferguson tractor is better than a quad, as you can do more with it..good luck
Congratulations 🎉
Hi guys, just found your videos, great news on getting your plot of land to start the next chapter. I look forward to following your journey. From one southerner (with a little bit of Scottish heritage) to another I wish you lots of good fortune.
Well done! Okay, you’ve got another sub and welcome to the highlands! Dealing with planning will depend which authority you come under (no idea where your plot is). Easy enough to learn how to make and present drawings, don’t worry about that. Find your nearest neighbour that owns a jcb, takes the strain out of the heavy work and gets you moving forward. The very best of luck to you both, I have some bits and pieces here that may be of use to you.
Thank you! Good to know 👍🏼
Wow! Congratulations guys, keep one eye on the end of the journey and enjoy the currents in between, rough or smooth.
Well done ,happy ventures.😊
Thank you! 😃
