Thanks David
All of the details can be found on the web site, so I didn't want to repeat them too much here - especially as the more traffic to it the better!

But here's some info to encourage everybody...
Its a 6 acre Croft in North West Scotland, on a remote peninsula called Scoraig. There are about 80 other people there, doing the same thing, but its not like a commune, just like-minded people 'crofting'. There's no road into it, so its either a 3 mile walk or a 1 mile boat trip across the loch.
The croft itself is all off-grid for power and
water. But there's already
Solar Panels, Wind Turbine and Water Turbine installed; with a beautifully clear stream for water. It has a loch shore (sea loch with dolphins, whales and basking sharks etc.), with the boat access, broadleaf woodland (with yurt), meadows, conifer copse and various out buildings and
land. There's a map of both the area and the croft layout, on the web site.
Hope this helps give an idea of it and I'd love to hear from others who have done similar, are planning to do similar, or like the idea of it all.
