- This week we made an offer on our dream house in Scotland.. did they accept? You'll have to watch to find out.
If you've been following long for the last few weeks you'll know we've been on a mad mission to find the home of our dreams after years of full time travel and travel vlogs we're more than ready to settle down and renovate and move in to a home we can all our own.
If we've done a full van conversion surely a house renovation series can't be much harder right?
After road tripping up to the Scottish highlands in our camper van we decided to hone in on one particular area near the cairngorms.
After living in a van for so long and searching everyday on property selling websites the listing for this incredible property came up and holding our breath we went to view it..

This is amazing, I'm so so happy for you guys! Congrats, looking forward to following the new adventure!!
Massive massive congratulations, how gorgeous, so happy for you guys 😍
Yay 🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️ I was trying to cart wheel all over my boat. I am so happy for you guys. I was so excited you put in an offer but sad we couldn’t look at more houses. I really enjoyed the tour of all the different places feel free to help other people look at houses I love your little visions of little rooms that you have you guys are the greatest.
I am so excited for you both. I can't believe the price for that parcel of land. MUCH cheaper than where I live in Canada. You deserve this dream come true. Wish I lived closer so I could help with the reno. Now you can breathe. Hugs from Canada.
Guys I lost my son 3 days ago and can barely Breathe. I have always watched your videos to cheer me up but I don’t think you know how much I needed this video today. Gavin and I watched together whenever he could. I love you guys and appreciate the work you do to make us all happy. I may watch this one a few times before I can get out of bed today. ❤
Sending love❤ and light 💌💔
Gosh Tia.. we're so sorry to hear that. We can't even imagine what you're going through right now.
Sending all our love and strength your way. ❤️❤️
Christ. Sending my love. So sorry ❤
I'm so very, very sorry.. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
There are no words. Sending you love.
Crying right along side ya Aimee! Gosh we are SO happy for you two! The most perfect place to call home ❤ We can not wait yo come visit and see this beautiful home and what you do with it over the next few months!!!
Ah thanks mate 🥹♥️ can’t wait for you guys to all come and stay!
I don’t know how I landed here but that’s my old friend Dave’s house! My partner and our kids cut past that house to walk through the woodlands back to the village. What a view! I hope your offer gets accepted! Welcome to the village!
I obviously don’t know you guys personally but I’ve never been more excited for a couple of strangers in my life. You guys are warm and kind, I’m absolutely delighted for you both. What an exciting chapter to be able to witness. Much love
Same here! So excited for you. Congratulations
❤
Me too! Crying happy tears, tears of joy! I have loved watching your videos. Craig and Aimee you always make me laugh, you are both so darn funny! 😂 I am so happy for you. You chose an absolutely gorgeous area to live. Let this new journey begin! All the best to you in your new “home”. ❤
I really do love these people as well. I believe they care for everyone they meet and us here in the comments. now I can’t wait to see what they do with this property and how they make it their own. Of course, with a space for all of us to drop in for a visit which we would call a vacation and you in the UK would call a holiday. My favorite holidays are coming up. We call it Thanksgiving and Christmas. For most of us here in the US that means no vacation time. Sending all of my hugs and kisses to you guys in the UK also known as your area of Scotland from Jeanne in Wisconsin. God bless.
Congratulations 🎉 on your new home ❤ You two will make it grand! 😊
Never in my life have I ever cried such happiness for two strangers.
Congratulations on your new home Craig & Aimee!! 🖤
Haha! Agree lol!!!
me too and im only at 7.55 minutes into the video!
Me too!!
Same ❤
Craig is so good with Aime. I understand how much she wanted the house, but Craig is the rock she needed to to diffuse her fears if the offer wasn’t accepted. Ultimately it all worked out. So happy for you. Genuine emotion is rare from CZcamsrs, you guys are the real deal.
I don't think i have ever been as happy for people I've never met as i am right now. You deserve this. You make me smile with every video. I am so delighted for you both. Your channel was one of the first I followed and your videos were some of the ones that inspired me to get a camper. I struggle with anxiety and can doubt myself and abilities but last year i went to Wales for a week of solo traveling and this this year I managed to get myself out on a solo trip into France and Belguim. You rule your own world and encouraged me to rule mine. Love you to bits xxxx
I rarely feel happiness for two 'strangers' on the Internet. But, I sat here with nothing but smiles and an overwhelming feeling of joy. It's thoroughly deserved. Congrats to you both!
When Amie started to cry because they GOT the offer, I cried too. You guys touch my heart all the time. I love how genuine you two and witty all the time. Thank you for always making me laugh and feel like I'm part of your life. Congratulations 🎉❤
You know that feeling when you've had a horrible day at work and you think "right, that's me done crying for the day - I'll watch some Kinging It and there will be no more tears".....
yeah - there were tears! but they were happy tears - I started crying when Aimee teared up after Craig said he'd put in an offer, and now I'm not sure when the heck I'll stop crying again.
Congratulations!! I am so so happy for you guys, and I cannot WAIT to see you two fixing up this house.
So pleased to see you up here on Scotland. Welcome 🏴 hope to see you out and about in the highlands
I swear I am happier for you two than I would be myself. You spread such joy to the world and deserve this more than anyone! I can't wait to watch this next chapter unfold for you two beautiful souls!
They truly are beautiful souls!
I have never been so happy for two strangers in my life! Congrats to you both! Can’t wait to see the changes you’ll make!!
Aw thank you Kim!!
Congratulations 🎉 and welcome to Royal Deeside! It really is a wonderful place to live. You’ve got so much to look for including the giant duck race down the river Dee!!
51 year old guy, never met you but love your adventures..sat here crying my eyes out at your wonderful news.
From Kingingit, to brickingit to now renovating it!. Best of luck to you both..here for the next chapter!
I love that they loved you so much to give you a chance. It's actually smart on their part, they will get to watch progress! I feel alot of kara/nate, eamon/bec, travel beans reunions coming...
Much love and congrats!!! ❤
Don't ask me why when your offer was accepted I instantly burst into tears! So happy for you both! You deserve this more than anything 🥰
I did. too!!! Congratulations you two!! This is just wonderful
Me too
The amount of happiness in this video! Aimee your reaction when Craig said he wanted to put an offer on was just everything! So happy for you guys! Also...What an amazing house to call your first HOME! ❤ p.s imagine holding your wedding in the woodland by the house...You said you wanted 'enchanted forest' vibes right! 🌲🪄
OMG, you're gonna live only 1 or 1.5 hours drive to Aberlour Distillery - the sweetest little whisky tasting you'll ever imagine!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful beautiful part of the world!!!!!!!! Well done!!!!!
Why am I the one crying? You would think I was the one who was on this journey 🙄 but seriously guys, I am over the moon happy for you and can’t wait to see all the wonderful moments ahead of you as homeowners. Congratulations!! 🎉
I cried too
haha same! Such a sweet moment!
You're not alone! I am as well!!
I cried too!
Me too!
I panicked for you when finding 12 offers were put in, then yelled and cheered when you were selected as the favorite buyer, and cried buckets in pure joy when you got it. It just seemed so perfect for you on first sight and to get the fairytale ending was amazing. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤
You guys definitely have a different kind of mindset when it comes to what is the perfect dream house.
The bedrooms would have to at least be able to fit me in them both length, width, height wise.
Then not being able to get vehicles up to do necessary repairs... like heating and a/c.
I wholeheartedly believe you need to Write down your pros and cons and really take a hard look at what makes sense
Your excitement is just so genuine
The moment in Custard where Aimee teared up when Craig said he wanted to put in an offer...ooof. My heart. Congratulations guys! This is amazing!
Congratulations! For the homeowners to skip over their top three offers because they loved your letter/story and you matched the bid, is so amazing and a testament to your characters. You are so unique and lovable. I was on the edge of my seat with my fingers crossed and sniffed some onions when your offer was accepted. CHEERS, to the newest chapter of your story!
Congratulations guys. As somebody who has purchased over a dozen homes and been in construction for 50 years, it is natural to feel a little overwhelmed on some projects but you are young and nothing needs to be done overnight. It is a beautiful property and you have the rest of your life to make it your dream home. Relax and enjoy the journey. We can’t wait to see how it progresses. Much love
Well done Ballater is amazing. So happy you chose the Scotland countryside for your home.👍🏴
Am I the only one crying! So very happy for you guys! Can't wait to see all the new adventures this will bring. What a beautiful place to have a wedding 💕
Being able to share your ups and downs with you has been an honor, and we appreciate you letting us in on this part of your life
the pretzel hug on the bed after the news was the greatest!! Congratulations!
Aww, the moment Craig says he's happy to put an offer in for the house... Amie you melt my heart. You guys are the best.
The house and it's location is beautiful.
It is absolutely crazy how invested I can get with people that I have never met! I cried!! I CRIED so much during this video! You guys deserve nothing but the absolute best!!!! I have been watching your channel for a while now and it is always a great day when you post a video! Today is my Birthday! This is my second favorite present this year (1st place goes to the Burrito blanket my boyfriend got me. Can you believe that Im 35?!?! haha )! Anywho seeing peoples dreams come true just ignites my soul! Such an amazing day! Cannot wait to see the adventures your new place brings!!!
I cried, too.
Never knew I would cry or be so happy for people I've never even met!
I am SO happy for both of you!
Congratulations and here's to a whole lot of wonderful years in your new home!
Absolutely love to see people coming to Scotland and seeing it for what it truly is! A stunning progressive country! 🏴🏴
I agree.... Best small country in the world. Wild beautiful and full of natural resources. A place for everyone. ❤️🏴
Yes.
The setting is idyllic!! And your creative brains you were able to see what the cottage and barn can become.
Why am I crying?? Well it’s because you guys are just very special , and we are all just so happy for you!! ❤️How lucky are we to be able to watch your journey!! Huge congrats to you both!!!
I spent a week in Ballater in 2022 and fell in love with it - such a stunning, cozy, restful, magical place. I'm so thrilled for you both (and just a wee bit jealous!). Congratulations to the most deserving couple! You will be the best custodians of that gorgeous place, and you will make so much of your own magic there!
Wow, Ballater, right next door to Balmoral! Some of the most beautiful countryside in the Scottish Highlands! Well done to you!
I would turn the barn into a home for the van so its under cover. solar panels on top and make an indoor garden so you can camp in van if you need to.
I know I’m not alone in saying I couldn’t be happier for you both! Congratulations 🍾🎊 🎉 ❤! I’ve just retired this year after 35 years as an escrow officer in the US. our job was to collect all the money pay everyone and make sure the legal documents got perfected. 12 offers is A LOT! Your letter definitely helped. Well done! I’m so so happy for you! Now I’m looking forward to how you turn it into your dream home. Oh and I’m 2nd generation American Scot! Oh and I sure hope the sellers see this video! They will be just as pleased as we all are. Much love ❤
Dearest Craig and Trev... Words cannot express how HAPPY and EXCITED I am for you both! I have waited on pins and needles all week long to see what was going to happen once you guys viewed the house.
I struggle with anxiety, depression and being overwhelmedb with life situations, much like you both. I sincerely look forward to every Sunday when I get to watch your videos, because they remind me I'm not alone in my struggles. I am so thankful that you both show your humanity and weaknesses with the rest of your viewers, as well as the ways that help you overcome life's daily obstacles. You guys are truly a beacon of light and hope... In my world, at least.
I shared in your anxiety and excitement while waiting to hear back about the offer you made on your house. I cried with you when it was accepted!! I cannot think of a more deserving couple to have their dream come true of buying a home. I cannot wait to see what you do with it!!
I am so very excited I'm thankful for you both. You are wonderful human beings, who deserve nothing but the best. THANK YOU for being yourselves and your CZcams channel. Much, MUCH love, from Lauren in Texas ❤
Soooooooo happy for you. That home is going to burst with love.
Welcome to our wee corner of the planet in Scotland. Get out into those hills guys and enjoy those hills.
After watching you two for many years, I was moved to tears when you got the place. Sending you good vibes and I’m looking forward as your life journey continues…. You two are legends. ❤🎉
OMG..I am so very happy for you. She's beautiful. The privacy, the quiet, the colours and the view. Spectacular . I'm sure with your creative minds she will be brought back to life and know she is loved. A home is only a home when she is loved and this one is screaming to be owned by you two. I cannot wait to see her shine. Congratulations. I don't think I've ever laughed / cried for two people I've never met( and most likely will never unless I run into you on your cdn excursion). Bring on your next great adventure.
Amazing!!! Your footage looked more stunning than ever. This is meant to be your slice of the universe.
Literally screamed when I heard you got the house!! So so happy for you both, you found your little slice of paradise!! Sending you so much love and light your way! :)
Thank you so much!!
