Description

Hi there Workawayers,

We live together with our mad, 6 year old cocker spaniel Kim, in a beautiful wooded glen (valley) near a village called Spinningdale about 50 miles (80km) north of the city of Inverness in the Northern Scottish Highlands.

We have a 6 acre former croft, (a traditional small highland farmstead), which we are gradually developing as a permaculture site. We are surrounded by 1700 acres of stunning natural woodland belonging to a conservation body called The Woodland Trust. We are currently building an eco-house as our new family home.

Ideally we are looking for volunteers with some previous experience of building. We would particularly welcome anyone with relevant skills in carpentry, wood machining, floor laying, tiling, bricklaying, stone work, fencing, tree-planting, cooking or website design.

We will also consider volunteers without experience but wishing to learn about natural building.

We would particularly welcome couples.
