Our First Week Living in a Forgotten 150-Year-Old Stone Cottage in Scotland

Our first week living in a forgotten 150-year-old stone cottage in Scotland: sleeping on roll-mats, taming Scottish snakes, and a pond in the garden we had no idea existed (full of old Christmas trees). We made a start on the bedroom, began a wood stockpile from a salvaged wardrobe, cleared every gutter on the property, had the families up to see the madness first hand, and discovered Dougal swims like an otter. ▶ Watch video 1, We Moved to Scotland for This 150-Year-Old Cottage    • We Moved to Scotland for This 150-Year-Old...   ▶ Watch video 2, Full Tour: Our Stone Cottage + 1 Acre Garden, Before We Renovate    • Full Tour: Our Stone Cottage + 1 Acre Gard...   CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 01:10 First days (and a birthday on the floor) 02:00 Scottish snake tries to move in 02:17 Bedroom decorating begins 02:55 Salvaged wood 03:58 Painting the bedroom 05:16 Bedroom before & after 06:37 Benmore botanic gardens 07:43 Bruce's family visits 08:23 Cleaning the roof 09:09 Rebecca's family visits 09:24 Dougal learns to swim 10:36 Hidden pond discovery 12:53 Outro & whats next We're Rebecca, Bruce & Dougal, leaving London behind to renovate a 150-year-old stone cottage in Argyll and Bute, Scotland.
