A note from the site themselves...

The off-grid lifestyle is something that has amazed me for quite some time. It really is all about self-sufficiency and not being dependant on anyone to live your life. This is a four year passion project of ours and was the result of meticulous planning, we are delighted to share it with the world!

The Scottish Vintage Bus Museum is 15 minutes away in Lathalmond, Dunfermline, a quirky attraction dedicated to preserving Scotland's bus heritage. It houses over 150 historic buses and coaches, many of which are still operational. Visitors can explore the extensive collection and even take a ride on a vintage bus during special event days.

Scotland's Secret Bunker (45 minutes), is located near Anstruther, and is a fascinating underground attraction. Built during the Cold War, this hidden bunker was designed to be a control centre in the event of a nuclear war. Visitors can explore the extensive underground complex, including the command centre, dormitories, and radio studios, and learn about Cold War history.

The village of Culross is 20 minutes away, a well-preserved gem, with its cobbled streets and historic buildings. Known for its appearance in the TV series "Outlander," Culross feels like a step back in time. Highlights include Culross Palace, with its beautiful gardens, and the ruins of the 13th-century Culross Abbey. Don't miss the quirky tiny houses and artisan shops!

The Kelpies and The Helix Parkare 30 minutes away, two towering horse-head sculptures located in The Helix Park near Falkirk. These 30m high sculptures are a tribute to Scotland's horse-powered heritage. The park itself offers a network of walking and cycling paths, a lagoon for water activities, and plenty of green spaces for picnics and relaxation.

Andrew Carnegie Birthplace Museum is ten minutes from the site, a museum dedicated to the life and legacy of Andrew Carnegie, the famous industrialist and philanthropist. The museum is housed in the cottage where Carnegie was born and explores his rise from humble beginnings to becoming one of the richest men in the world.

Falkland Palace (40 minutes), is a favourite retreat of the Stuart monarchs and is a beautiful Renaissance palace set in lovely gardens.

The gardens are equally enchanting, featuring the oldest tennis court in Britain, still in use today. It's a quirky blend of history and horticulture.

A visit to Inchcolm Island is like stepping into another world. It takes 15 minutes to get to South Queensferry with a 30-minute ferry.
