    We moved to Scotland 23 years ago. Bought a house with land (not quite the same, I know) but we have never looked back. Scotland is the most beautiful place on this planet. Good luck to the both of you!

    Your lawn chairs are set up exactly where a lady fostered 60 children. Think of the laughter, and the feeling of safety those children rang throughout that small house. You are now in charge of bringing new joy to that plot of land. REALLY looking forward to this channel

    Just stumbled across this video this morning. Having cleared land I have two bits to suggest. First is teach your dogs “safety first” which is basically “go to your spot.” The dogs have a safe space to go every time risky equipment comes out.
    Second is start a compost pile. You will have soooo much vegetation to clear, may as well get something going asap and a dedicated space to dump it. And for the interim, it gives you somewhere to put the dog poop too. (Short term, not long term. Dog poop is not the best compost!)
    Good luck!

    We (my wife n dog) and I,are moving to Scotland in March of 2025 from Ontario Canada! I was born in Falkirk and after a vacation there last year we decided at this time in our lives,we want more of Scotlands rain and less of Canadas snow lol.

    14:37 we’ve got a lot to do, I can remember saying that to my wife when we moved to Scotland in 2004. We moved up from Cambridge and was the move worth it, you bet it was. My wife, our Beagle and I spend our free time travelling all over Scotland in our Camper van. She has a bit of a hard time using the Porto Potty, and we try to avoid it if we can. But hey needs must lol.
    20 years and still more to explore.

    Hey guys, just found your channel and working my way through your recent vids up to your purchase of your land. I'm a Scottish/Italian chef, but no longer working through health issues. I am now living a dream of mine vicariously through your journey. When I could still afford my car (Honda Jazz), I had it set up as a stealth camper and have camped all over the highlands for many years at every opportunity I got from work.
    Looking forward to your progress, all the best!
    ps you could get a brush cutter blade for your strimmer which will save on line but also clear more efficiently. Also when clearing any wood remember its a bountiful source as fuel, kindling, insulation & building material.

Rachel did the right, correct and PC thing by leaping around in the truck when she spotted the 'Welcome to Scotland' road sign. :) According to ancient Scottish countryside laws, 4wd trucks, K02 tyres, roof tents, drones, strimming bracken and dog poo are all acceptable. However, strimming ferns is prohibited, and nose rings are frowned upon. ;) You have been warned. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the good work. 🧔👍✌

    Hi folks, If I had my life to live over, I'd love to do as you are doing. You seem like such a charming couple, I hope you live a long time, so you can enjoy the life you plan together. To that end, I strongly recommend you not cook your food in the tins it comes in, especially over an open flame. Those tins have a plastic anti-rust coating inside, which, if heated may leach into the food, and cause health complications down the line. Live long and prosper!

    • @richardsmith9798
      @richardsmith9798 Месяц назад

      @livinginkevlar doing that yourself would be the best option, plus you could get some decent footage finding the relics. Hopefully Santa brings you a multi frequency machine to help you get the deeper targets, plus any scrap metal you find can be cashed in, win win. Good luck with your new life and land up in Bonnie Scotland.

      I was lucky- doctor listened & I was on amoxicillin within 7 days of being bitten - same day I noticed a 'bullseye" on the bite area.
      No lasting effects in the 15 years since.
