Wow - wouldn't it be fab to buy that, restore it and run it as a posh b&b? (would have to run it as a b&b as no way we could afford mortgage/repairs.

How stunning!

Oh I had not noticed that.
My parents had a biggish open plan house built in Holland, and had the floor tiled diagonally thoughout the downstairs. It drives me mad, the house is an odd shape so there is not a straight line to be found in the place. I spent ages this summer holiday following the lines of tiles in the hope of meeting one wall where they are at a right angle. [must find a more interesting hobby emoticon]

Oh God that's beautiful. My one dream in life is to move to Scotland and overlook a loch.

Stunning.

bet it'll eat at least 250k in renovation costs - probably needs a new roof, rewired and will be listed!

That's not the view from the house though is it? It's a view of the house from the hill above, the actual view from the house wouldn't be as spectacular especially with all those trees. And the trees are probably necessary to provide shelter from the freezing wind that comes off all Scottish lochs.
