Very special land. At first expectation, desolation might be the sense, but it is anything but. Truly breathtaking. And you better believe it, the Word of God IS everything 💞
This is one of my all time favorites. I rarely like church restorations that are for homes, etc. but this could did such a stunning job with the architecture that it beautifies the building, creates such a restful and creative space, while also being a home--which doesn't detract at all. That is a feat. Impressive. And I note that George didn't have any comments on how to improve the design or make it more true to the building--I think he loved it from the start.
Open to the elements for decades those thick walls are a testimony to design and craftsmanship. They literally purchased four walls but the integrity of the exterior is correct and true. I'm not usually a fan of contemporary but every now and then I'm pleasantly surprised. The interior was very bright( will need it with so many dark days) with thoughtful flow and space, very modern gallery like. Truly a great restoration and artists work space. A win for the owners and all of us who love to see these old buildings saved and repurposed 🤳
Instablaster...
I love it when people decide to fight the hard fight, and cut through all the red ribbons of planning to save a building like this. Props to them!
Wow. Finally one of these restorations that has been brought to completion in absolutely stunning taste. They have taken a beautiful structure and made it into a masterpiece. And they are clearly lovely people too. I have been following this series with great pleasure, and this has been by far my favorite one.
What a delightful couple. It's too bad that the restorations always seem to be tied up. You would think that because someone wants to restore and bring life back in to the building they would rush the paper work on this. I think they should even have special grants so these people get some aid in restoring what otherwise would be left to fall and ruin. Boggle the sensible mind. Side note: apparently I have ancestors from Berneray! Cheers to you, great result. Oh and DIY Daily, thanks for the amazing uploads...nice work. 🤗
I've Scot ancestry, close to Ireland; Scot, Irish, Welch + English, all.
It's fascinating how traditions, turns of phrase, are handed down from generation to generation, & can be seen in our own family.
Grants for wealthy people... for their vacation homes.... ughhh
@@emmalouie1663 you have a point. However, there are others to consider as well. Saving historic buildings is one. People can buy properties for whatever use. Leave the derelict building to continue tumbling down, and build something new if you get building permission, will be vastly less costly than to restore and renovate. The cost difference comes from the building rules and regulations, the materials and techniques you will have to use, that come into play when you apply to renovate a historic building. So simply rejecting some sort of support because the owners must be fat cats wanting a holiday home, seems a bit facile. I am no fat cat. Yet I bought my home, a tumble down 16th Century village house in a preservation area. The cost of renovating was at least twice that of knocking down and building anew. Of course the latter was not allowed in the preservation zone. I could have walked away and let the old place become a ruin. I did not. But I sure would not have minded less red tape or a little financial support to partially cover the higher building costs.
First restoration video I’ve watched without loud music playing 👍
Would of love to of seen the wood beams in the rafters not painted but allowed to have their natural beauty instead. Really love how Keith honored his father with the bust of him as a young boy. That's what its all about! it is a really beautiful build.
He spoke Gaelic, and I started crying; so beautiful, so moving such brilliant work, and commitment to this dream. Very well done!
I have tears in my eyes. What a beautiful family and one of the most amazing restoration projects I have seen. Even the contractor/builder melted my heart with the dedication and honesty of his work and commitment. Just incredible. So happy for the awesome share . And WOW....it is a treasure of a home...forever be safe, be happy..truly a blessing.
A great building team means everything. These builders were awesome.
Just lovely. I admire the work ethic of your architect and builders.
So many church restorations are disappointments, usually because they chop up the interior and destroy the essence of the space, or else because they add decorative elements that detract from the building's heritage. This one gets it right, magnificently, and I love it. In fact to my tastes, this is the finest of all The Restoration Man projects I've seen. Bravo!
Oh, I loved this. It's one of the few such programmes where one does not end up hating the owners, who so often turn out to be arrogant, ignorant, pretentious. These guys were great, and the restoration is wonderful.
Some locals would rather see it crumble and fall which wouldn’t take too long in its dilapidated state. Glad it was saved.
Big fan from the U.S. here: George - Wow...triple wow! What an absolutely beautiful and totally unique restoration! The location of this old abandoned church is breathtaking...I’d say almost “heavenly.” It is very remote, so living there might be a challenge for some, but not for this couple who have such a deep connection through the (husband’s) late father. This is one of my fave “Restoration Man” episodes, the other one being where the wife of the couple was so excited and such a champion for the restoration project and then sadly, her cancer returned and she never got to see the project completed. That was a “lump in the throat” episode, that’s for sure. Thanks for these restoration journey videos, as they really help give a bit of some positive and uplifting... and beautiful escapes from the reality and stresses that so many of us are dealing with right now.👍
Beautiful restoration but I would have ,in a million years, painted those big rafter timbers. I would have stained them lightly and oiled them. The contrast with the white walls would have tied in with the massive stone work of the exterior walls. Great episode.
R.I.P Greg May God Fill your grave with Holy Light and Make your sleep peacerul
Who's Greg May?
I was wondering who he was too
What a fantanstic restoration. Beautiful creativity and Scottish ingenuity to get it completed. Impressive layout and design. Well done.
If I had the money a strained glass window would have made something even more beautiful, a dream house in a dream place.
But the original didn't have stained glass windows, so the owners can't change to stain glass because it would visually affect the exterior. And George said at the beginning that it was grade B listed.
This was wonderful! I love watching these episodes, but my goodness, this one has been my favorite What a beautiful sight!
i love it! The owners of that building love it in a way it was never loved, and that makes it a restoration and beyond.
Well...
Watching the series for quite some time now, but I have to admit... THIS is one the most beautiful and amazing transformation I have seen so far.
Greetings from Germany ✌️
They did Just a Beautiful job...
From USA. 😊👍🇺🇲
I was in Scotland in summer 2018. It was an amazing experience since I travelled to the Inner Hebrides on my own. I think this shows the true beauty of the land and people of this area. So great to hear Angus speak Gaelic since, to my knowledge, less than 1% of the present population speaks it! Great video.
Most kids are again fluent since it is mandatory in school.
@@sherunswithscissors Not so. In _Ireland_, Gaelic is mandatory, but Scots Gaelic is not. There are though, Gaelic medium schools and many more opportunities to learn than in the last 100 years though.
@@thereyougothen - it is in the Hebrides.
Commenting at 7:50. What a great vision and dream. Just stunning landscapes. Then to have muscle, backup to help you complete the task is icing on the cake. The two sons look like they are really stout.
Breathtaking…Humbling really…
I can't believe the courage Keith and Sheena had in bringing this sturdy shell back to life... Beautiful finished product... Kay Mooney, Sydney Nova Scotia ... Canada...
This restoration is really well done! Like many people, I have my preferences when looking at their interior design choices. Wish they hadn't used the cheap-looking grey-painted balustrade and columns and gone for a more classy black metalwork or something the like to match the windows. But other than that, what a breath of fresh air and great reward for so many years of persistence!
Good job! Me? I'd have painted stained the rafters a dark color to make them pop.
Fabulous. It was magical...
Stunning restoration.
I would have loved to have seen an evening where they invited all the island inhabitants around for drinks and to look admire the building. I think they would've been so impressed.
An absolutely beautiful finish! I feel bad harping about the painted exposed beams because everything else fantastic, would have loved to see the exposed beams as stained natural wood but I didn't buy it or do the reno so my preference is inconsequential. Otherwise it's amazingly done!
As a Skandinavian, i am deligted ,the company owned up to thier responsebility. Way to go. What fantastic build. 👍🏻🇩🇰🙋🏻♂️
This is one of the most beautiful and inspiring documentaries I have ever seen. Thank you Mr. Clarke!
I adore that this couple have created this artist retreat in such a beautiful and creative way is such a glorious landscape.
Now that was worth the effort to create a legacy building for the family and an inspiring space from which artists return , renewed with skills and Luke minded camaraderie. My ancestral home is nearby ; makes me long for a trip there before “I lay doon and dee.” Chicago IL
Awesome restore! It makes me eternally sad that the restorers of this church - though connected at heart by a father - are so disconnected from the Father in heaven; for which any church was ever erected. Thank you for including an ever so minor element of this aspect in this show - but ultimately it gives homage to man - which is the disgrace of any church, hence why it became the abandoned shell it was in the beginning of this show. It's a testament to our times, we've moved God out and ourselves now make a home without Him. Truly a tragedy.
The church restoration is just amazing, so gorgeous how the plans came together .
this literally brought tears to my eyes. honestly.
what a gorgeous home this tuned out to be... congratulations, enjoy living in it in the best of health.
I love these shoes. The history about the buildings and the people who used them.
Loved this. Glad there weren’t money issues. Made it peaceful and a calming watch.
Arched many of Clarke’s shows and what I loved was the detailed look at the history of the island, it’s inhabitants and the history of the architecture. it’s not just about style and bricks but delves into the real people and the passion for architecture. I appreciate the work that is done to enrich and make this more than just a diy show.
Scottish culture is beautiful!
Binge watching these series, I absolutely love them but personally find this ones interior rather incongruous with the island and its surroundings.
Seems like a windmill would be an asset.
It always amazes me how locals so often reject change no matter what, even when one like this actually preserve the church instead of letting it fall to pieces. Its funny how people are.
I think it changes from island to island - I have lots of cousins in Tiree and there has be a resurgence in rebuilding old structures- houses, barns etc. Also lots of ‘incomers’ have paved the way for economic resurgence as well, and they have always been welcome. The young people now have a choice and don’t have to leave to make a living.
Another lovely save, this couple has made a beautiful home from this church
Wow, what a location. That scenery is incredible. Goes to show, you don't have to be rich to enjoy and have nice things.
The location is everything. Many many years of enjoyment. Who wouldn’t want to live in that house.. ??
Beautiful.
This was such a roller coaster. 3 and a half years to just start and then his father passed and couldn’t even see it and then finally it’s finished. The exterior looks as would have when it was a church, rather than making it into a new house. Lovely to see that preserved. Beautiful place and they’re such a lovely couple. I hope they’re happy with it!
Absolutely well done! Gosh the contrast of the interior from the outside is exactly what I expected to see. Thanks for the video.
Fascinating episode combining the church history, architectural history, stunning location, and lovely restoration project. Wonderful!
So beautiful. I can see how creative the space is. The surrounding land is amazingly beautiful and rough. The couple seem so warm. Amazing!!!
Bloody brilliant
beautiful
What a wild, rugged place to bring back to life. I’m on the coast here in New England in the US and we feel slammed by wind when it is blowing 25kts! Just a summer breeze to these folks. Another lesson is how corrosive salt air is to everything. Salt leaves a slimy grey film on the windows all year long, so wash them 2x year and forget them. Surely a privilege to live by the ocean, though, no matter what.
Wow, magnificent!
stunning!
Awesome, thank you
Wow, that was enjoyable.
Beautiful job
Beautiful 😍
Absolutely outstanding
Beautifully...the view and restoration....
Stunning!
I love it!! This is my favorite!! 😁
gorgeous
Just beautiful!
The landscape.. ♥️
They don’t add as much fake drama in this episode which is very refreshing until you realize what the family included the architects and builders actually went through to achieve this. I imagine they could make a harrowing full documentary of what really went on here. I’m happy for them and I hope they enjoy their “new” home. It’s a life size memorial to those who didn’t live to see it’s competition.
Fantastic rescue as well as restoration.
Love the transformation and the whole outlook and the creativity of the interior, great couple and family and trust they have many happy years in this awesome environment. Super builders and workforce for enduring the elements here AND getting a great job completed.
Amazing
Magnificent

Descobri esse canal agora. Amei. Tão lindo ver gente que restaura. Enquanto outros metem fogo.
How beautiful and fresh
Love
Beautiful place! Bummer they had to frame the walls... I wish they could have done the limestone plaster instead.
Awesome design. Hats off. The Government should not Pressurizeto keep it in the same manner .This is totally on individual how he or she wants to design it.
Dang, a left-handed architect must have a banging hard time.
This one is special “ Gu brath dhachaigh “
Omg the old cow in the sunglasses...
