Ben and I (Leila) first visited Scotland in 2010 when we holidayed with our dogs on the west coast.  This was the beginning of a love affair with the Highlands and we were married on the shores of beautiful Loch Torridon two years later.

We decided we would like to make the Highlands our home so began looking for a property where we could also run our own business.  After a long search we finally found Craskie Estate in June 2014 and completely uprooted our lives in West Yorkshire two months later!

Craskie Estate had been rather neglected for several years,  drinking water came from the burn and the access bridge was little more than a causeway with no sides!

When we arrived we set about sympathetically renovating the Old Mill and saving the beautiful ruined farmhouse.  We also put in a 76m borehole ensuring fresh drinking water all year round and a brand-new bridge over the river.

Do not be tricked though, once you set foot in the accepted place that's it: no phone sign, no GPS assistance, no shops no loos no retreat with no surrender! Essentially what we're saying is pack everything you shall(or might!) need and go with you! You can't even trust our postcode for the place, because it's simply their guess that is better! So make sure to plan ahead and just take your map or perhaps you'll be getting ultimately more adventure than you finalized on for!
