TOUR OF OUR TINY HOME IN THE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Thank you for all the love on this video and welcome to my new subscribers! I'll definitely be featuring more of my tiny home on my KZbin, so please do subscribe if you want to see more. Let me know what type of video would interest you. I've had a few questions about the kitchen (including where is the fridge!), so I could do a more detailed kitchen tour, including our space saving solutions, if that's of interest? Open to ideas! I've also got some more content on my Insta (@hippyhighlandliving) so come say hi there! Love to you all!

[@damogranheart5521]

While I don't have a tiny home I do have a very small home so any space saving ideas are very welcome. A walking tour of your village would be nice and any history of when people started living there. Any scenic walks would be wonderful. I hope you have a great summer!🦋🐈‍⬛🕊

What a lovely tiny home, beautiful and cosy space ❤️

It's a beautiful house. You might want to think about a window large enough to be used as an emergency exit in your sleeping lofts. They're working on standardizing building regulations for tiny houses in the U.S. A emergency exit in sleeping areas are good way of insuring everyone's safety in case of a fire in the house.

[@dnllmaurer1]

I was thinking the same about the necessity of an emergency exit. It doesn't require a huge window but a minimum clearance to provide an escape. I'd also suggest a smaller window opposite for a soothing cross breeze. It can easily become stuffy & uncomfortable sleeping in a small room. Placing a little fan in the corner at ceiling may be enough to circulate air but a source of fresh air would be a healthier option. Thank you for the tour. I admire your color choice on the kitchen cabinets. Best wishes to you with your lovely home.

[@magalymendoza9653]

You got a reason

[@emilierose9402]

@@magalymendoza9653 The emergency exit is just in case there is a fire in the living room or kitchen areas that blocks the front door. A small door can be put in but a window large enough for an adult to fit through is I think the easiest way to add an emergency exit. The movement towards standardized a building code is help increase legal parking options and reduce the risks of injury to people. Standard building codes have a lot of unnecessary restrictions that prohibit tiny house options but they also do provide important protections for people's safety. Those advocating for standardized regulations are hoping to achieve something that ensures basic safety standards without causing unnecessary hindrances to the economic and environmental benefits of tiny house living.

[@magalymendoza9653]

@@emilierose9402 I see!! Thanks

[@christthekingd6240]

So many clever ideas, but I agree with the comments to have windows in loft areas to exit in the event of fire.

I hope it's ok that I save your videos to my list so I can find them faster when I need a day brightener cause they really cheer me up. I know some people won't let theirs be saved because they're private. Yours cheer this older lady up every day.❤️😀💐 Thank you for sharing.

Hello from Ohio, USA. Your tiny house has a wonderful design to it. We typically like the cabin feel but your choice of colors and materials are very cozy feeling. Nicely done!

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Thank you!

[@lauraellen189]

Your home is just adorable!! The colors, the wood, everything is perfect inside and out!!

[@kayaker9912]

Congratulations on your tiny home, this is the way to go!!! More young people should be doing this and be as debt free as possible. I love the kitchen color, it is earthy and clean, along with the natural wood trim, the art work is amazing as well!!!! I am envious, we have a big house (which I dislike), a cottage that I rent weekly in the summer and my "tiny" cottage that is 703 sq ft. (65 meters-ish, sorry can't figure this out) I have to add all our places are paid off as my husband is a builder, so that was beneficial not to mention I got very good at the "measure 50 times, cut once" saying. I am sure you will be happy in it and with the beauty of your countryside all around you, what more could you ask for. Enjoy!

[@debrarobinson57]

Not just for young people, but us mature ones too! I'd jump at the chance to build myself one, but planning departments in England are very old fashioned. Wales has their ' One Planet' provision - self build eco - homes, which are often small if not ' Tiny', but they insist on having 5 acres of land, and you must be self funded & produce income from your land.

[@AshleyPaquin1]

Agree. We live in America so homes are HUGE but we opted to buy a small home for many reasons. I hope to visit Scotland someday 🙌🏼

[@bresev8958]

I love your kitchen! A very efficient use of space in a small home. I also love your mugs and hooks.

[@debbralehrman5957]

I like the way you have done your kitchen. Very roomy. It is a good idea with the roof too. You have a sweet dog. Sky is like my dog like a Border Collie. Mine didn't chase but she did like to heard. When the kids were younger my husband and I realized. that when their friends were over she would run around them barking. And little by little she moved them into a small circle. And she would keep walking around them making sure they were together and safe. Then they toss a ball and distract her. She was a very good dog.

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Aw she sounds like a lovely dog

[@michellehooper661]

Really interesting to see how you have managed space in your new home. Lovely and very unique 😊

[@DF-dd5nf]

Thank you for the beautiful tour of your wonderful house. I really enjoyed it. I know that you are in Scotland, but do you know by any chance on what type of land I am allowed to place this type of home? I mean that if I would buy a land? I don't have a land like you have in the garden. Thank you for advice.

[@BusOffwithJosie]

Wow, you can really tell an artist (or two?) were involved in the building and decorating of this house! The soft green, off-white, and wood palette is so lovely and soothing, and the beautiful artwork and homey touches of books and kettle make it wonderfully inviting. Kudos to both of you on a beautiful home!

[@grannyvee5789]

How absolutely darling! That was so fun. I’m an old lady from Texas, and just recently moved from a one bedroom apartment to a one room studio. if I ever get unpacked and organized, I’m sure I’m going to love it. With some physical limitations it’s going to be great to have just a small area to care for. I thought about a tiny home, but there were some mobility issues that wouldn’t make it the best solution for me. However, yours is beautiful. I love it and I thank you so much for putting up this video. It was so fun to watch.

[@Aco747lyte]

Ingenious use of space inside your stairs! I did the same when renovating an old farmhouse using reclaimed timber, but made pull-out drawers inside each stair-rise. I love your loft; again, clever use of space. I like your bathroom tiling which stops moisture ingress. Super compact office, too! ...You and Terry should learn bushcrafting from Felix Immler (presently on vacation), because his craft will enhance your lifestyle. ... Rome wasn't built in a day, but was a work in progress - just like your home. Many blessings, Wendi 🌻

[@Eflikr]

this looks lovely 🥰 an idea I saw in another tiny home was to use a net strung across a space as a landing so you don't lose the sense of space, but still have the function of a landing in regards to the wardrobes/cupboards for your bedroom, I saw an idea someone had for a tiny home to use French cleats, so you can rearrange your space in future just some ideas to consider 😊

[@erinbrown6962]

The net is a cool idea!!!

[@carolstockman7788]

Thanks for sharing that you're in your partners garden. Most people don't share this as in the uk buying land is hard and expensive and largely owned by Aristocracy. Good for you guys being creative!

[@janinafisher101]

I, too, have been a fan of tiny homes for 23 years since first seeing Jay Shafer's "Tumbleweed" on the cover of Natural Home magazine in 2000! My cabin isn't "tiny" - it's nearly 750 sq ft, but still small compared to many homes nowadays. You mention that you are in the Cairngorms, so I looked it up on the map, having been to Scotland a couple of times. I see Cairngorm National Park, and noticed that Tarland, a small village where I stayed with a friend for a couple of days, is very close to the park. She had a visitor who recommended that I take a walk down from the mountain, so she drove me up and I have a wonderful memory of walking back down to the village with the most exquisite views across to Lochnagar and other mountains which I assume are the Cairngorms. In fact I bought the (then) prince's book "The Old Man of Lochnagar" as a gift for a friend back home. Such a beautiful area.

[@bonniepwtf]

It's a really nice tiny home, I can tell the design has been weel thought out. First time I heard about tiny homes around 2015 or early 2016 in Edinbourgh, they had a few different models of tiny homes for sale, I remember deeply contemplating the idea, but being a broke student I wouldn't even be able to afford it back then. I'm pondering about getting one now, that I could definitely afford one if I saved for a little bit. Thank you for this video, really got me thinking about it once again. Greetings from Aberdeen

[@rondamon8004]

Maybe revisit the landing idea and though your space is not as large as the one you saw, maybe some sort of a bridge like landing with stairs to go up the landing where you can reach and see through that window and other stairs going down that would link to the other room/office. It could be high enough to not encrouch the space below and give a focal point to the window up above.

I was in the Scottish Highlands last week for the whole week. My trip was spontaneous and in all honesty, Scotland was never on my list of places to visit but omg, I now want to live there. I've already been looking at jobs there 😆 I struggled slightly with the accent and I don't mean that rudely. I have an accent from South of the globe myself and people often have to ask me to repeat so I promise that wasn't a mean comment. I'm so jealous of where you live 😆
