IF YOU can comply with all the planning permissions, building warrants and regulations, and you have the money, you can build anywhere; it’s a simple fact of life. That includes the remotest spot you can find on the Scottish mainland or the islands.
There are islands that would be offended if you called them remote. Do not forget that in Argyll, with its many peninsulas, and Lochaber’s wild mountains there are places on the mainland that it can take longer to reach than an island such as Arran with a dependable ferry service.
Remember that people have lived here for centuries; people in this part of the world know how to get to remote places – and how to get very large loads to remote places. We’ve had plenty of practice.
