We are a family of 5 with another one on the way (Feb 2015). In April 2014 we bought a plot of land in rural Aberdeenshire. It's 0.6 acres, is a weird shape and has a stunning view. This photo shows us all standing in front of the plot recently.
We had been looking for a house of our own for a while and couldn't find anything suitable and affordable. Because we live in Aberdeenshire with all its beauty and landscape, one of the stipulations we gave ourselves for buying land was that it had to have great views. Not easy, but somehow we managed. We now own a plot overlooking the aptly named and very regal "Queen's View", near Tarland.

We're planning to build a house on the plot in the place of an existing steading (outbuilding), and then renovate the small traditional cottage to be a "granny cottage" or annex.
Hopefully we can record the story in this blog! We have friends nearby who have built an extension to their lovely cottage, and their blog is awesome. Their project is quite incredible really. We thought it was a great way to record a project and be able to share it with family and friends far and wide so we have copied their idea. We don't think they will mind because they are very lovely people :-)
