Beyond the Workbench

Off Grid Scotland, eco living, natural living,

We have bought 50 acres in the highlands of Scotland and will be building our off grid eco home using renewable energy to power our eco home that we will be designing and building using natural materials. We will be living in an off grid caravan while we design our house connecting to solar power and making our own micro hydro power system for our off grid power, we will be connecting a composting septic tank to deal with our waste and making our own greywater reed bed to filter our water. We will also be filtering our own water collected from one of the streams running down our property.

We plan to rewild the land with new trees and grow our own food hydroponically as well as construct a cob roundhouse and convert the sheep barn to a workshop and renewables plant room. Join me and my family on our off grid live and see how we make off grid living work.
