nickr Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Hi, Been lurking around here for a while and found there is a wealth of information! We have a plot in mind on Skye, our idea is something along the lines of a cabin\bothy type construction. Will probably be posting quite a lot here.

newhome Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Welcome. I think @Crofter is away on his travels but he built a small house on Skye. @Thedreamer has also just finished building a house on Skye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Nick Have you had a look at the other islands? Skye has the bridge but it's quite a busy place now. The North 500 route was an almost too good as a marketing excercise as so many folk are doing it. I have family on Tiree. It's quite an affluent Island but there are others where the land is cheeper. Of course you can't just nip up as the Ferries are often off in the winter and so on but for some that is an attraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickr Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 Thanks ! @newhome , @ToughButterCup, @Thedreamer and @Gus Potter Questions will follow ? We had a trip a while back to Tiree it was lovely, we do tend to try and keep an eye out for plots anywhere in the islands and north of scotland. We keep coming back to Skye though, we've been visiting for the last 20 years and your right, it's a busy place now ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
