Plot hunting in Scotland

[Digger-07]

Just about to set off for a three week dream holding tour of the north east of Scotland (anywhere from Inverness to Wick) looking for a house with some land.

Planning to make a move next year to get away from teaching and do something for myself until I get old enough to let the kids look after me (ha).

My question is - do any of you grapes who live up that way have any advice, recommendations, warnings that I might take heed of in the next three weeks? It would be good to meet up if it could be arranged!

Setting off on Tuesday with map, tent, 2 dogs and, oh yes almost forgot, OH.

Digger
Will PM you my address and telephone number. I'm 37 miles north of Inverness. Would be cool to meet up.

[pigletwillie]

A tent, your brave.

[JennieAtkinson]

Good luck Digger! Don't suppose you will be coming this far north though.

[Alice]

Digger, if your serious you might want to look at this one. Maybe not as far north as you're suggesting, but on the right coast for you. At offers over £165000, with 14 acres by separate negotiation, it looks good to me. In case the link doesn't come up it's for sale by Thorntons Solicitors and eastate Agents, 32 Holding, Tealing, Dundee, DD4 0QZ. Hope this is of some help.

Hi Digger,

If you are passing me please feel free to call in, I am just off the motorway near Cumbernauld and can offer a tea break stop? I am about 230 miles north from you so you should be needing a break about then!

PS Don't forget some midge replellant they are biting well just now

[Digger-07]

Mandy - Thanks I've PM'd a contact for me could you let me have yours?

[Birdie Wife]

Hi Digger, drop into the visitor centre at Forsinard station if you're passing, I'm usually based in the office over the road but would be great to meet you if you're around - hardly get any visitors up here!

[JennieAtkinson]

And the kettle is always on up here too!

[Alice]

Good luck with the search Digger. If you're going Loch Lomond way give me a ring and call in. Have PM'd the number.

[nick the grief]

Bugger, If id' have know that Alice I would have been round for some cuttings I was on Loch Lomand last Monday - Mrs G fell in love with Luss then she fell in love with Mull, Iona, Glencoe and Rannoch Moor

[Digger-07]

Thanks everyone, car's packed and dogs put to bed ready for an early start as far as the southern uplands for a week or ten days to acclimatise then into the unknown.

[Alice]

Nick ! Why didn't you say you were coming to Scotland. It would have been great to have you. I can undersatnd why Mrs G started on these love affairs. Watch out for the competition. You might end up north of the border.
