Edinburgh man builds 'micro-house' in his garden after watching YouTube videos

A man from Edinburgh has built a 'micro-house' at the bottom of his garden after watching YouTube videos.

Neil previously told Edinburgh Live that he expected to finish the build in summer 2022, but has admitted he 'made things more difficult' for himself and has just completed the exterior.

He took to TikTok and Instagram to share his journey under the handle Micro House Edinburgh, and explained how he didn't need planning permission as it has remained under specific dimensions and is labeled as an 'ancillary' building'. To save on costs, Neil has done everything himself, with some assistance from friends and his partner Louis.
