Couple forced to transport £1m dream home 600 miles to remote Scottish Island

A Scots couple were forced to transport their dream home 600 miles from Wales to a remote Scottish island in a journey that has starred in a new television programme.

Ex-Olympic medallist Ewan MacDonald, 47, and his partner Amy, 41, spent the savings from their family insurance business in Inverness to construct the dream island retreat in the hopes their four sons will grow up surrounded by nature.

The quest to build their dream home was documented in Channel 5's Build Your Dream Home in the Country. In the episode, which aired on Thursday night, the couple battled against time and weather as sections of the house were transported from a factory to the remote and rugged island of North Uist by a lorry.
