    First I'd heard of it.

    Wow - will be interesting to see how many, if any, sell - they do seem rather on the small side for the price. They have a lovely outlook - any idea exactly where at Dunnett they will be and how many there will be?

    Cheers for sharing that info. The Org is amazing!! so are thr Orger's , of course!!

    Retirement age? Got a few quid to spare? Holiday home in Caithness? Strikes me as just what Percy T. needs in his dotage!!!

    Any chance of telling us who it is????

    They can't be retirement homes as you can only live in them for 11 months, the place is shut down in feb.
    Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing. But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

    I seem to remember hearing about this plan a few years back and the argument with planning was the fact that they would be ok marketed as 'holiday lodges' but there were concerns that whoever bought them would want to live there all year round. Hence the strange part about not being able to live there in February! It's possible that planning was granted some time back and still valid now. I thought it was the owners of the House of the Northern Gate (Draper's?) that were carrying this out. The website is pretty vague - maybe they are trying to gauge interest before moving forward with plans?

    No idea there was so much broadleaved woodland in the vicinity of Dunnet Head. Of course something like this happened before when a previous owner tried to sell of 1 foot square plots in the early 70's on the back of a rumoured oil yard development in Dunnet Bay by a company called Chicago bridge
