- Can We Find Our DREAM HOME in Scotland? Try booking your next trip with Magic for free - www.magictravel.ai/?r=kingingit
This week is the first Episode of our new Chapter - our journey to finding our dream home in Scotland and a new home renovation series. Our goal is to find a fairly small renovation project for us to work on and really make our own. We don't mind knocking down walls and giving it a lick of paint but if we need to add an extension, we may need some help!
So we rent a car and drive up to the Scottish highlands to view three incredible properties. We have been looking on real estate websites for the last three years and know this might take a while..
But we show you around all three giving full house tours, two being rather large victorian detached houses and the last one, 'the wild card' is an old school house in need of major renovation.
I can't believe soon enough we'll be first time home buyers and eventually home owner! We couldn't be more excited to have our own space!
See how we get on as new house hunters and if we find our forever home.

Ahh so exciting!!
The yellow one ..... but want to see the inside first
Third one 😍
I change my mind !!! School house
In short keep looking! That said, Wild Card. Sure it will be a huge renovation project, though it does have the best property. Get an engineer to look at it for structural problems. What ever place you get, make sure there isn’t any mold…
As an American Real Estate agent and an Interior Designer I have one big advice to keep in mind. You can change just about anything about a house and the land around it, but you cannot change it's location. 1 and 2 will never make you happy. 3 is the best out of the lot because you can take your time to do renovations while you live in the second building. I think you have a lot more shopping to do before you find a place that feels just right. Just remember that you can always put in furniture and wallpaper and such. But the place you call home is where your heart can be at peace!
Agree. You can change about anything with a house... but you can't change neighbours or neighbourhood. Location, Location, Location. 3 I think is their best bet out of the ones shown but I don't think it's a complete fit.
I absolutely agree with this. When you’re thinking of your home, think of the community and purpose of where you’ll be versus what the house physically is.
Except that's totally untrue about any properties that are category A or B listed in Scotland. Location is key but depends on the age of the home and most of these properties are older than America!
100% agree
None
Best advice I ever got when I was looking for a house was, "don't settle." I looked at many houses for months before I found "the one." I've lived here for 23 years and I still love my house. I'm never jealous of other people's grander and newer houses. I found my home.
💯 agree! Don't be afraid to miss out/let go on an offer, there are more houses right around the corner. Walk away if you need to.
I agree!
I think it depends. The list of must haves should not be SO big. You're always going to have to settle on some aspect. That's just life. It's fine.
If you need privacy and quiet don’t settle until you find the one. Sure we all need to work to budget but if you compromise on the top priorities you will want to move before too long. Home is a feeling.
Rural in Scotland is easy but if you want facilities close by it does up the cost.
I love how Amy immediately falls in love and Craig has to reign her in. There's always one in every couple. I don't think you've found your oasis yet, but enjoy the hunt!
Having bought an older fixer upper home I can tell you that for every issue you can see there are 10 you can't see. Example: In taking the ugly wallpaper off in the kitchen I found a hole in the chmney that had been stuffed with newspaper and covered up with said wallpaper. Not only did we then have to pay someone to reline the entire chimney, but had to realize that had I decided I liked the wallpaper and left it, we may have died from carbon monoxide poisoning. Do I regret doing it? No. Not at all. But it took us about 10 years to finish the home a bit at a time as we could afford it. So I understand you both. But Aimee if your man can't see what you see in it then he will only become resentful of the hours and hours of work needed. Especially if the cost keeps you from doing the traveling you still want to do. My only advice is to find a home that you BOTH fall in love with. Then the work and the expense won't matter as much.
This comment is spot on. Everything, no matter how small turns into ten big things!
Craig is the head and Trev is the heart. There will be a time and place where both will go “this is it”. Take your time, it’ll all work out. Not to mention, think of Emon and Bec who’s cabin started out rough and they’ve made a beautiful home. It’ll all work out, you deserve a home that makes you happy. Best of luck and lots of love ❤
"Eamon"
Getting work done in rural Scotland can be extremely expensive, local builders are hard to come by in remote areas and materials are an absolute fortune to get delivered, think long and hard about major renovation projects
Be patient guys. It’s a big decision and shouldn’t be rushed. Find the perfect spot with a house you can develop i guess. Land doesn’t change, but the house can! Looking forward to what comes next for you two, please don’t drive yourself crazy about it, it will feel right when it feels right.
We moved as a family of 4 from the Netherlands to Denmark this year. It took us 10 months of planning and after house visit number 18 we made our choice. Be patience, you got the time
Guys, whatever house you consider in the end, get a flood report too. Saved me big headaches to know water would flow away from my house in case of extreme rain in the area and not towards it.
Im with Craig, that last place just seemed a bit gloomy and would be a massive project for you both, which might be both financially and emotionally costly for you both. Keep looking. You will find the one 😊
Thanks once again for taking us with you 🙂
I wondered if it is old enough to be listed?
Just some advice-I'm about to sell my second "forever home". It's beautiful, 40 acres of forest and I never thought I'd leave. But things change, interests change, the locality changes. Chances are you will likely search for another "forever home" in the future. So, go for what you want (location, house, etc) for at least five years is my advice. It may work out forever, but you just never know. can't wait to see what you guys get up to!
I’m with Craig about the weather and the facilities around the rural areas and I’m Scottish. If I was travelling I’d want a place I could drive back to easily (I.e. within a few miles of a major road). If I was moving that far north I’d go up and stay in the depth of winter to experience reality rather than the stunning scenery and amazing light of the summer. The light is grey at best in winter and daylight hours are few and less when it’s cloudy and rainy. However the scenery is very dramatic in winter and roads are so much quieter without the tourists. Good luck with your search. I hope you find your home wherever that may be.
Suggestion: We bought a house this summer, thinking it was old but we would renovate her and make her beautiful. That’s where the suggestion part comes: We should’ve asked for a detailed air quality test. Those very specific test that tells you if there’s any mold in the home or asbestos which usually comes in old houses. The house documents specified there was no mold or asbestos but we eventually asked for tests after I got sick (it took 2 days) with rashes, migraine and respiratory difficulties. Now the home is dangerous but nothing made us believe it was. We can’t go in it or live there and we are now trying our best to deal with lawyers and the fact we are paying for a home we can’t live in and also paying for a second home we need to live in. So, my suggestion is; whatever the buyer tells you, how ever beautiful the home is, if she’s old, she could very well have a lot of mold that you can’t even see or smell. Anyway…have fun and I’m sure you’ll find your perfect nest. 😊
No doubt, together, you'll find the right house eventually. In the meantime, Tony and Frank were HILARIOUS!! You two are just a joy!!
No one else can make ads so damn funny 😂😂
Keep looking. You will know when you know. Good luck and thanks for taking us with you.
I loved seeing the homes! I am with the other commenters in that you can take your time and don't rush. From the video, none of these really screamed "the one!!!!!" Take your time, enjoy the process, and trust those heads and hearts. ❤ All my love, ~E
I’m with Craig about the 3rd house…and renovations always cost at the VERY least 20% (usually more like 50%) than expected and take twice as long. If you are stretching to make the initial purchase….then you are going to be perpetually broke and living in a construction site for years to come. Some people like that sort of thing…so it’s really up to the individuals…but it’s not for everyone (def. not me) and when you are part of a couple it’s important not to put the other person in a position where they’ll be miserable.
Keep looking, guys! You'll find the right one that will make you both happy and suit your needs. They say you should look at 10 or more houses before you make the right decision! Be patient, and it'll come! Love you guys! Keep up the amazing work. Also, a big thank you for taking us along this journey! ❤
I think house #3 you’d have to have Eamon come live with you to help. Take your time your home is waiting for you! You two do the BEST sponsorships…they should pay you double. Love from US. ~Cara ❤
I can honestly say the role playing sponsor segments in your videos are NEXT LEVEL !!! i absolutely adore them and I cannot be the only one.
They are tv quality i think, just genius.
I looked at close to 60 houses before I found "the one." It got to the point I knew it wasn't for me INSTANTLY and just didn't even waste time going inside to the tour 😂 ... Don't settle! You guys will find the right one eventually 🥰🥰
Number 3 all the way, if you were to make a series renovating it on youtube (highly popular) it would pay for itself and be yours exactly how you want it the first time without having to deal with redecorating which will inevitably cause more issues because of the unknown. Worst case scenario you'll always be able to flip it depending on how good of a renovation you do.
Best of luck lads.
I was also thinking CZcams series… *cough cough Eamon and Becs cabin rental is how i found myself here to begin with*
Knowing what you don't want helps you find what you want. Maybe start off smaller in the perfect spot, and so renovation costs will be less, and the stress will be less ❤
Does anyone else wish there were more like buttons to press for these two?! I am so here for this next chapter! My 13 yr old self (when I started watching home makeover shows) and my adult-travel-adventure current self are glued....can't wait for the next episode!!!!
My biggest advice for fellow work travelers looking for a house: Don't bite off too much of a project house. You'll stress yourselves out on the things left to finish while away from home. When your income is contingent on travel, like mine is, you'll end up resentful between choosing time on a project house and time away from making a paycheck. As such, expect to spend three times more than what you budget. The little odds and ends really stack up. Take your time and find something that checks all your boxes
Love you guys! Please don't consider anything on/near a busy road or train track. Not if you plan on having pets or kids. No matter how carefully we watch them. You may find yourselves in a situation that is out of your control.
The second house would be a huge "Hell NO" for me. It's not the house, but the location. First house - MEH. Third house, YES! I'd love to see you two do the renovations!!!
Same!
Agree
Having once lived across a street from a train track (and one where they'd start blowing the horn right before they got to our house) - NO for number 2. Neither 1 or 2 would be restfull & restorative. Too much work for #3. Keep looking. You'll get better ideas as you go!
Keep looking guys! You’re going to find the right one.
It is as mentioned a money pit. Major one.
When you find the right one, you'll know as soon as you hit the doorstep. You won't even need to walk through it. Craig is right to be so sensible. KEEP LOOKING.xx
Keep looking. Houses 1 and 2: Good houses, bad locations. House 3: Better location, bad house. Don’t settle for any of these. Settle on Great house & Great location.❤
The renovated cabin on the 3rd property is move in ready and could be your main house for years as you slowly work on the other one! The views from the windows were so tranquil, and cold-plunges could be a daily morning routine, best location and by far and what I would choose.
Or you could live in the smaller house and bulldoze the larger house and start a new! ( if you do bulldoze the house, I would auction off the woods and windows and doors to try and make some money off it.) You could live out if the small house and store building supplies in the bunker. Plus, Custard would have plenty of room to house some destruction helper till you get it built back up. What's Ammon doing for a few months? 😊
@@pattdunn9845 Eamon is about to become a Dad so I don't think he's traveling much for a while. Kara and Nate would be a great help though. Maybe it could provide lots of good content for both channels........
We couldn’t agree more with you 😊
You can change the house (renovate, decorate, etc) but you can’t change the location. No matter how much you drop on a fixer-up, you need to love where it is. Busy roads, train tracks and rainforests (lol) can’t be changed and if they annoy you on the first visit, they will only become more of an issue later on. Good luck with the search!
Absolutely!
"That roof is battered mate" 🤣 Love it. Well done Craig. V sensible on wildcard
I don’t ever comment on your posts. But I’ve been watching you for 5 years now. I 100% think the 3rd place is the best. Craig is worried about the money up front. But within a year you will hit 1m subscribers. The moment you make off of the flip this house series justifies all the worries when you have such an upgraded and nice place to live in. This house has the perfect start for you and custard to then explore and come back while the house is getting transformed. Can’t wait to see the dog that you pick! Ask Eamon and Bec and Kara and Nate to come visit and all your family. Y’all deserve it. Much love!
I would keep looking. None of those 3 places looked tranquil to me. Take your time, enjoy the journey, it will be worth it. Good luck and I love following along with you !!
I live beside No.3, believe me, its tranquil!
Scotland is a great place to live, the countryside here is incredible. So many different choices from the coast, forest and the islands! So glad we moved here. I hope you both enjoy it here too 😊
Couldn't agree more! So excited to see what we can find and bag!! 😄🤟🏼
#3 the wild card. Stay in the cabin and slowly renovate the house. What and amazing long series that would make and we would all watch it. That view is everything.
Location Location Location! You can always change things in the house; but you can't change a location. Best of luck to you!
AMEN!!
I am 37 and still don’t own a home. You’ll find your perfect spot!!! Hugs to you both! I can’t imagine house hunting in Scotland! What an amazing experience!!! ❤🏡
No question, has to be number 3 out of these options. The little cabin could be lived in while you do the renos on the main building - yes a lot of work and a big investment, but could be an incredible ROI in the future if you ever wanted to sell. Plus once the renos are done you can continue to rent out the cabin to help offset your mortgage. But really like how you're both representing both sides of such a big decision - the dreamer and inspo and then the logical and financial side of things. We know you'll make the best decision for you guys, and we will just be happy to be brought along for the adventure!
This was like my dream episode of escape to the country with you two!!! ❤
It’s all about location- busy roads & railways will eventually make you dislike the house - you can’t change those things but you can change a house. Good luck with your search & thanks for sharing it, I just love property search videos and house renovation videos ❤
My fave was number 1. The house itself is STUNNING (especially all the woodwork), not too many headaches in terms of Reno’s, looks close to a lake, and the road out front doesn’t look too too busy. It’s a gem imo
Soooooo excited for this! No matter what you choose, 1,2,3 or 67… can’t wait!! 🎉❤
This is all I can say.....Take Your TIME. You'll find the right one for BOTH of you..
My two cents…keep looking. You both have boxes it needs to tic off… and those didn’t. The cottage/schoolhouse is very cute…. But a total Pandora’s box! Take it from someone who has renovated quite a few places! Good luck and hope the right place comes along!❤
I love the contrast with how excited Aimee gets vs how practical Craig is on first impressions. Excited your sharing this journey with us.x
Take your time. Location is number one, you can never change where it’s at. After that don’t get in over your head financially. If it’s livable and comfortable can you do projects over time, (decades not years). Don’t worry about making a quick decision. My husband and I looked for 6 months, and got a place we loved.
When I became a widow I looked for 4 months to downsize. Loved my beautiful condo with a killer view for 12 years.
Now I’ve sold the condo in preparation for retirement and finding my “perfect place”. Each move I (we) took our time.
Definitely the WILD CARD🎉
So excited for this new chapter for you guys. Can’t wait to watch 💕 Keep up the search you’ll find your spot.
My FAV Sunday morning laughs come from Kinging-It!! 🫶 😂 Much love to you both on your new journey!! 🏯🏰🐑🐄🐕 And thanks for taking us with you!! 🎉🥂💜
As I watched you go through Number 3, all I could think is this is a project for Grand Designs!! It was the best but Craig is right. It's a money pit and your anxiety would be sky-high trying to renovate it.
The wildcard, BUY IT! You know you want to. Loads of work to do, that's years of vids. Van wives are loving it. Think with your head, buy with your heart.
I love the Springbok Jersey 🙂Nice house choices.
Hope you will find your forever home soon.
I just loved the last house so much. Yes it would be a TON of work and a huge investment, but keep in mind that a lot of the work can be done over time. The little cabin seems beautiful and move in ready. The big house could be renovated overtime. I love it and think y’all would have a ton of fun. Not to mention the add rev from the renovation videos. lol.
#3 the fact you can live in the cabin while you reno the house is perfection! BUT of course that takes $$$
You're not a hands on kind of guy after seeing how little you would actually do on Custard. But obviously we all know for future youtube revenue you've already chosen the three year project and cliche transfer from travel content to renovation mishap content. You're doing the right thing. Can't wait to see more.
I love that Amy is into the vintage vibes and loving the wallpaper. I wouldn't change it either ❤
I have seen almost all of your videos ( need to catch up on the most recent ones ) and I love love love your travels , but I suspect this house series will be my favorite of all… I cannot wait to see Craig sippin on a single malt in his Scottish highland renovated house ! I will be jealous of course because scotch and Scotland is ❤
Love the video! I can't wait to see your home when you find it! I also love seeing all the ones you look at along the way. I hope yall have the best time looking and find the perfect home for you both!
So excited for your next adventure. Looking forward to seeing what you find. Please look after yourselves and each other, its going to be a tough and wonderful journey for you both.x
I absolutely LOVE!!! This new chapter. My favourite show is “escape to the country “ so this is fantastic and I can’t wait to see what you guys pick ! And since you asked , I wouldn’t choose any of these. I personally would keep looking. Just for the simple reason you both didn’t feel the same about any of these beautiful properties. Keep looking and wait for the home that lights both of you up ❤❤ good luck !!
I was looking for pretty much the same thing you were! I ended up buying a new build and I’m so happy I did. It’s given me a home I can move into and everything works. I hope you find what you’re looking for!
Aww Soph - congratulations mate!! I hope we find our home soon too!
Love your videos! All 3 homes had potential. Looking forward to next week
😊
I love seeing your guys adventures, but honestly seeing you guys doing settle down is awesome!
We are 55 & 59yrs old still living in our first home in the Countryside on an acre. Don't rush is the advice we can give. Wise advice from Mum about think with your head not your heart. 2nd advice plant trees and perennial veg straight away. This is going to be an epic journey to watch whichever home you choose to take on. Cheers!
I can already see the whole gang coming and visiting your new home! ❤
us too! Can't WAIT! 😆
Can you imagine Eamon and Bec and little baby girl coming to stay! :D @@kingingit
Love you guys. I’ll watch whatever you do! Proud of this next adventure for you guys. None of these places felt perfect over here. Keep up the hunt and you’ll find something truly perfect!
Just keep in mind the more rural you are the harder it is to find good builders / tradesmen that are available, affordable and actually turn up when they are supposed to. A reno job in a rural location will take three times the amount of time to get done and finish. And about three times the cost so make sure it's a house you both seriously love.
Though I'm not sure you've found your 'forever" home, the 3rd home with the lovely little cabin would be my choice out of this group
House hunting is a huge Adventure. Very grown-up Adventure as well. You're going to see a lot of amazing places that will pull at your heartstrings and make you want to open your wallet. Take your time. Look at things at different times during the day. Have fun! Bring a contractor with you. Does Gary know how to build houses?🎉
The search continues. Main roads are a no no. Safety first. A note about the last one. If you plan to rebuild like that assume you will pay double the price you budget for. Clearly the seller thought as you did and realized what a money pit it was. So, the search continues. Due diligence is the name of the game. Land rights, easements, taxes, flood zones, building codes, laws of the land. So much stuff. What is winter like? If you don't already know what it's like, it's good to know what you are in for. How exciting! Buying your forever home. It's a great feeling. Good luck! Be patient. Took us years to find our place.
What gorgeous houses. Hope the search goes well and you find your dream home. You deserve it
I know 3rd one is a mega renovation project but it looks more like my idea of "retreat for your mind and your body". You have very very handy Canadian friends and many followers who would love to have a working holiday with you. First one unfortunately loses with no garden and second one's train tracks and busy road is kind of off putting. But at the end Craig is also right that all the renovation can be overwhelming, may be too overwhelming. I hope you will find your forever home in a short while. But if takes time, it takes time. We are happy to follow you anywhere. ❤😘
3 is probably cheaper to buy but renovations will be expensive. What if you tear down a wall or floor and the damage/safety is worst than you thought? 😬
3 For sure, you can make videos of renovating an "abandoned house" for 1 or 2 years, which will potentially double the views on your CZcams channel. This can help you earn money from CZcams and even secure deals with companies that provide materials for renovation or construction. Plus, since you have a cottage house, you won't have to pay any rent. It's a great opportunity and you might not find a better deal.
Absolutely the best thing about that last house there’s no railroad no highway!
Aimee, you can finally start an animal rescue! Once you find your homestead.
I think i'll start with a few dogs and cows and overtime it will just change into an absolute circus and i CANNOT wait 😂😂
@@kingingit 💗😁👏👏👏👏
Hey Trev, cows take a lot of tending and have a dampening effect on the number of adventures one can have. I've been the substitute farmer for my neighbors who take a vacation about once every four years because it's so hard to get away. Beware! @@kingingit
Can't wait to see you guys with your beautiful home base! Good luck with the house hunt!
I LOVED seeing this side of your lives and I'm so excited to watch along this part of your journey!!! Thank you ❤
Ahhh - how exciting! The first 2 houses are beautiful and the 3rd one has amazing surroundings! Good luck for the thinking and take your time! Love from Spain🥰
Keep looking guys! You will both know you are making a good decision when it will feel right in your head and your heart. None of these houses looked liked like a good match for what you are looking for. It's lovely to see you back and whatever videos you will make next we will be here supporting you. ❤
Oh man I so love this! I’m so excited for you guys! What a tough decision you have. Take your time and don’t settle. None of them seemed like your dream home which means it’s still out there. Be patient. You will know it when you see it! Best of luck!
Kinging it is the only channel where I see a sponsor ad coming and say “ooo an ad!”🎉 You two are too funny.
Geez, love you guys, so happy for you on this next chapter, bring it on
I love the way you tour the houses and I would love to see a renovation of the 3rd house! And also for the second house, I live next to a train track where 4 trains pass every hour, and at some point you don't even notice them passing, you really get used to them.
#3.. Love the cabin options..❤
Fun to see what you are considering. I say, keep looking. You both need to LOVE the potential of your new, and possibly, forever home. 🏡
This is all so exciting. I'm so excited for this chapter. With Aimee's style, and Craig's everything else wherever ye land will be gorgeous 🥰
I’m so glad you are back!! This is a fun journey you’re on now! Thank you for taking us along 👍🏼. I don’t know that I would choose any of these houses. If I HAD to choose I’d choose the lemon 🍋 meringue. You’ll get used to the train and the road. Eventually you won’t hear them or they won’t bother you. They will just become part of the fabric of your new lives. But I have to say I think there is something better. Aimee your enthusiasm and ability to see the potential in each property is fun to watch. Craig your level head will get you into the right place. I can’t wait to see what you show us next week!! Safe travels from very sunny 🌞 Southern California 🌴
Absolutely loving this new series guys. It’s right up my alley. It would be good to know what they are asking for these homes to be able to help you decide. Don’t rush into the first place that wows you is the advice from someone who has bought many houses over the years in the UK and Canada. I’m with Amie on the last one even though it needed so much work on it because of the view and tranquility of the location. Good luck with the search. If you don’t find anything, wait till you come to Canada with Custard (assuming to Halifax) then go to Cape Bretton where you would surely find a place of your dreams at a fraction of the price. We live on the South Shore of Nova Scotia, so always willing to help out with that search.
yay!!! Sending you both all the love💜🤗💖
This is so exciting and I think having a house you can call your home base you can always return to is so good!!
Awesome vlog you guys! I'd choose the first one, but would look at more for sure. Good luck!
Yay! That's so awesome! Good luck ✨🙌🏼🤍🌄🏠
Cant believe I was randomly watching this and recognised no.3, The Old Schoolhouse, 2 mins down the road from us. My Uncle actually went to school there when it was in service. We're born and bred on Locheilside and despite working further afield, we still chose to build here and make it our permanent base.
Your comment with regard the rain applies to the majority of the Scottish Highlands!! Its not any drier anywhere else! Also, where else do you get to watch the Harry Potter train go by from your garden...
There are so many skilled local folk that could help you with the renovation, some very talented neighbours, you might want to consider a 2nd look...!
Omg!! The 2nd house is in my home town! Not too many trains go past 😅 couldn't believe it when you pulled up! ❤
loving watching your journey (your travels all over and now in the UK) and hope you end up in Scotland! But if the rain is a big sticking point I would stay clear of the West coast, lovely but very wet! I was a West coast gal but moved to Edinburgh for better weather
PS. Aimee, I know it is a tough subject but I love hearing about your cancer journey and how it has motivated your life and your travels. I'm a Hodgkin's survivor myself and you really inspire me ❤
As a Scot, don’t move to the wettest place in the country. East of Scotland is windier and cooler but drier (plus less midges). Peace, a loch and a wee bit of land would be my choice but I agree with Craig that #3 would be a money pit. Keep lookin’ guys. A few more weeks/months to find your dream forever home won’t make much difference in the big picture. All the best. The Highlands are gorgeous ❤🏴🥰
I hope you add more properties to choose from! This was an amazing start but there has to be something closer to a beach for surfing and closer to move in ready… with the same vintage cozy feel… right!?!??!! Good luck you two! Such an exciting time in your lives! ❤
As a longtime viewer of your channel, I really loved seeing your take on the classic "home search" TV show format. It felt much more real than the reality TV versions!
