Next time you are house hunting and it seems stressful, remember the story of a couple who decided to spend over £1m creating a dream home on a Scottish Island by asking a Welsh company to build a huge modular home and transport it over 600 miles - that's proper stress.
Ex-Olympic curling medallist Ewan and his partner Amy wanted their children to grow up surrounded by nature in an idyllic location on the remote Scottish Island North Uist in the Outer Hebrides, with the beach as their back garden and breathtaking views as their neighbourhood.
The couple were risking their whole life savings from their family insurance business in Inverness with a budget of £900,000 to construct their dream home, but this wasn't going to be a conventional self-build, they wanted it to be constructed to their specification and optimise the views from their plot of land.
