  • Lurker from the thread start. Love it. I am moving Scotland from Thames valley in Feb so this is very inspirational. Thank you.

    Edit

    Genuine kind of internal risk assessment we had to do when considering the land. I think we’re probably about 12m above sea level so reckon the house should last our lifetime before being washed away..

    Yeah you are on the 15mt OS contour line so should be fine. Obvs OS datum is Mean Sea Level not HAT. My mothers house in the South Rhins, Dumfries & Galloway is 8 mt above OS datum and I think she will be fine, however the two houses at the bottom of her drive are at 5 mt and across the road from the road level sea wall. Eek!

  • Thank you very much, whereabouts are you moving to? What inspired the move for you?

    Yeah it’s quite concerning, even a couple metres rise up here the wee village, the shop and the ferry slip would be gone..

    @ChainBreaker this gate and the fence line in the bottom photo are the bottom edge of our field so it would just be that wee triangle on the left to keep preserved. Hoping to shape another wee pond above them and fill it with our rainwater runoff to create another wee space for things.

    Got in and tidied it up a bit today. Hoping the plumbers show up Monday to start on their first fix.
