There's a lot of interest, but buying into Findhorn is way out of the pockets of most who aspire to this type of green living.
There's a lot of talk of eco villages around, a lot of people trying to get them off the ground, so to speak, but there seems to be an awful lot of hurdles to jump.
I have friends who had a good acreage and plans for an eco village, priced for local folks in the centre of tourist attraction Perthshire. The whole thing fell through when a european who visited the area decided to sue them for discrimination, since he wanted to buy a plot, build a house and just visit for a month a year but rent out the property to tourists, and they were refusing him and his right to do so since he wasn't a local. The land is now a pine plantation.
I notice too that private housing developers are jumping on the bandwagon and building their version of eco villages.....complete with an estate building style
I'd love to see them take off as a viable and thriving housing initiative.
cheers,
