A croft, barely alive - we CAN rebuild it!
Hi, and welcome to our channel.
We are Martin and Silenia, and this old delapidated cottage (croft) in the far north of Scotland will be our home one day.
I bought it many years ago with the dream of rescuing it from the ruin it was and turning it into a beautiful home. It had been abandoned 40 years earlier and had lastly been used as a tractor repair shed.
It's located in the very far north of Scotland, on the last road in the country, and is actually the 15th house from the top of Britain. It was built around 1850 from offcuts of stone from the local quarry works.
We started this channel to take you with us on our journey, to see and share the struggles we will encounter along the way.
There are also some videos of my work on other properties too.
