Glaswegian retirees Jim McConnachie and Frances McChlery had always dreamed of building their own home with a waterside view, and had even toyed with buying a plot on Scotland’s west coast. However, when McChlery’s sister was diagnosed with young-onset dementia, they had to rethink their plans.
“The prospect and implications of supporting my sister-in-law became a key consideration,” says McConnachie, “and we decided to build a home closer to the facilities of the city so she could live with us and be closer to extended family.”
