My wife and I will be moving to the area from County Durham very soon. Our plan is to build a house on a plot of land near Tayinloan that we bought nearly three years ago. We would have had the house built and moved in a lot sooner but hit a few frustrating hitches along the way. However, things are moving at a pace now and apart from putting a few final pieces of the jigsaw into place, like finding a groundworker, we're just about ready to start the house build. Hopefully it will be finished and we'll be moving in sometime next year.
The delay with the house isn't going to hold us back much longer and we're going to be moving into a flat in Campbeltown in just a week or so (although I do need a slight hand with this, please see my post in the Wanted section). Living in the flat will allow me to juggle my time between keeping in close contact with the building activity on the plot and working from home doing my normal day job as a software test manager.
Take a look here for a few videos of the plot and a sneak peak of the house.
