RE: Grand Designs tonight
Twas a local archiect who designed it, and it was built by the islands main builder a chap called Donald who has built over 300 houses on skye but this is the first eco house he built, twas a truly fascinating show well worth watching on 4 /7 or on the repeat later on this week, Twas 99% timber, no stone, its got a grass roof like they have in the other community i want to live in at Findhorn Eco Village.
Its lozenge shape, grass roof, large sea view windows plus loads of small windows all of the Scandinavian double glazing standard. So when they did the air pressure test it scored a truly remnarkable 1.2 which is very very good.

Got to admit you buggers up in the highlands and islands definately have the upper hand and best overall environment from a solely prepper viewpoint.
