Oh my gosh Suzanna’s story about the inspector made my day- he was kind with a wonderful sense of humor. Suzanna you are continuing a legacy - with a heart of gold❤
So lovely to hear your tribute to Susanna and her husband. You are truly blessed by such kindness and generosity and I have no doubt you and Scott will be very happy at Hillcroft. I love how Shona thinks she's a collie dug!! Xx
When our world is in such dire need of kindness, it's so refreshing to experience a little selflessness and see what can be accomplished when we reach out to each other. You are so right in what you are saying. Praying for your success and at the same time Susanna's happiness.
Suzanna, you are a gem in this world of mud and clay! I think we (Katie, Scott and their faithful followers) are all breathing a sigh of relief because of your generosity. Scott and Katie are hard workers and I know they will do everything in their power to preserve and restore Hillcroft. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
You should adopt Susanna and her hubby as additional grandparents for their blessing you and Scott. One can never have enough family. I know because at the ripe age of 70yrs, I have none. God bless you all. ❤❤
"Look what we can do together." The world needs your book, Katie! It seems this croft has a way of attracting what's best in us. A good place to be! My heartfelt good wishes to everyone involved.
"A Beacon of Hope" Katie, I'm pre-ordering my copy of your book. Blessings of love, hope, laughter, peace and endurance to you and Scott and also to Susanna and her husband for their loving gift. It reminds me that there are still some genuinely good people in this messed up world.
I think a book would be excellent . Indeed the effort of all the Scottish isle army is amazing . The generosity of Susanna and her husband unheard of , what a story. If it weren't true nobody would belive it ❤
Susanna and her hubby are indeed rare people to help you out. It will be a wonderful change for you not to fight damp etc. I truly wish you all the luck in the world and both you and your new landlords, health wealth and happiness xxxx. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think Susanna& her husband are your & Scott’s guardian angels. It is truly an amazing blessing and a beacon of hope for us all. Sooo looking forward to seeing your collaboration of the renovation of the Croft finished. Thanks for sharing this journey with us on You Tube. Best of luck!❤
WOW!! YES!! WRITE A BOOK!! I will buy it for sure, I never tire of listen to Katie telling stories. and a book would be awesome ❤ My heart is overflowing with gratitude and blessings on your behalf 🙏 What a ride for you both 🌟
So happy to see the video today. Yes Suzanne and her husband have a beautiful soul and helping others is always awarding. God always knows what we need. God bless you both ❤️🙏
Bless that Inspector. Susannah and her husband too! I am happy you've got somewhere good to go with kind people. I hope some day you will be able to welcome them as guests :)
Susanna and her husband have beautiful hearts. Sharing your journey will be such a wonderful thing for them. Loved the story about the inspector’s visit, obviously a man who cared very much about the restoration of old buildings. ❤ xx
Securing the access rights has the potential to be an absolute nightmare. Fingers crossed that the neighbour is friendly and cooperative, and the water company not too problematic. Couple of gates, couple of keys and a bit of hardcore🤞 ❤
I am happy Katie, Scott and company have a lovely home to make and go to! Thank you Susanna for inviting Katie and Scott in to bring Hillcroft alive again! I am so excited to see it bright and shining!
No man is an island , no man stands alone - each mans joy is joy to me , each mans grief is my own .... each man as my brother , each man as my friend - when we stand together we are never alone xx much love to you both xx
I cannot wait to see inside the Croft, It's going to be so very beautiful 🤗 A new home for your all to be happy in. I love that you both care and love an old built property. Much love to Suzanna and her husband for being so kind and given to you Katie and Scott ❤❤
Katie I’m so glad that you found Susanna. It will be nice for her to see her precious Hillcroft come to fruition, that will make her happy. Your book sounds like a good idea. God bless you in this new venture.
That was a funny story about the inspector lol. It truly is a blessing that you crossed paths with Susanna and her husband. My only concern is the access issue, I hope that gets sorted out quickly. Isn’t it ironic that on the island the owners are going out of their way to make it harder for you to leave. And then you have Susanna and her husband who are the kindest people who want nothing but the best for you. You should write a book, Katie when you are settled in ♥️🙏🏻♥️
I don’t usually comment but seeing your emotion touched me. You are so right we should all help each other where we can and I am sure you will do Susanna proud. So many pieces of luck for Susanna and yourself. First in securing the funds to buy Hillcroft initially and then them coming to help you when it was most needed ❤
The best thing i love about no longer having a TV, is enjoying and watching the passions and generosity of ordinary everyday people ❤❤❤ I've always deeply believed that most people in this amazing world are good, and love to see goodness shared ❤
Excellent news Susanna and husband … fantastic news 🗞️ glad to see white walls and floral curtains in the course and passage of time … start writing that book now Katie ❤
Thank you Katie. Delighted things are going forward. Yes there are lots of good people. Book - excellent idea. Shona behaves like a dog - lovely. 🐑🐑🐑🐈⬛🐈⬛
So, so pleased at this wonderful outcome. I’ve followed you from the beginning and have come to look on you both almost as family. To see Katie looking well and relaxed is amazing and I look forward to the book! Thank you to Susanna and her husband - there are some incredible people in this world and you two are up there with the best. Onwards and upwards from here. ❤️
I was sure that it would be better to own and renovate rather than rent or lease. I hope and pray it goes well. Susanna seems to be a rare person and I hope she will be able to enjoy what you do there and that a true friendship has been born.
Thank you for the update. Love and safe travels to your new home! There is light at the end of the tunnel, and a bright future for you and your sweet family! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
"All things work together for good for those who love the Lord". ......Now there's Bible authority for your present situation! The very best to you both and to the warm and giving lady who has offered you a lifeline in this storm ❤
Yes please, Katie! Write a book. You'll be a wonderful writer. I can't tell you how happy I am that, through Susanna's generosity, you've been led to Hillcroft. Now I'm praying to see the pain you've been in wiped away and replaced with pure joy. Blessings.
No truer words have ever been spoken. Indeed if we all just choose to work together rather than against, we would all be blessed. I am so happy for you both.
It is ,indeed a blessing , what has happened to you in the end .This is when angels meet and it is of great hope that generosity ,kindness and sensitivity can still be found in the human heart ! God bless Susana,her husband and you ! Lots of love to all of you !❤🙏🤝
Susanna and her husband are beautiful souls. You two are also beautiful souls. The people who helped you two recognised that quality in you bot. This made me believe in good humans exist. Love to you all.
Such lovely people the owners of your new place are. ❤❤❤ saying hello from Vancouver Island Canada 🇨🇦 I can’t wait to see what you do in your new place.
So happy for all of you 😊. It gives us all hope and faith to know that there truly are good people in this world. You're right, Katie - it's incredible what we can do together ❤ Oh, and I would so read that book 🥰
I agree. Having a written contract protects everyone. Then you can all feel safe and secure. Looking forward to the next steps at Hillcroft. Best wishes.
Really happy for you all, and sending love to you AND to Susanna and her husband ❤️ My husband (he died 23 yrs ago and i have since remarried) back in 1997, had a really good friend who offered us his Mum's house. The legal agreement we drew up (with a solicitor) was that our monthly rent would come off the purchase price of the house for a few years. Then, after a few years, we could buy it outright. We were so blessed to receive such a lifeline and a step onto the home ownership ladder. Sadly, just as we officially bought the house, my husband died and i was alone with our children. What a comfort to know we still had our home. Good luck with this venture xxx
The owners as well as you both are very fortunate to have found each other. I have just found this channel and started binge watching it. Love and good luck to you all. Deborah. North Carolina 😊😊❤❤
Hillcroft sounds like another island, one with fences as it's natural boundary instead of beeches and water. You both will create a Wonderful green oasis on the hill, I am sure of it. 🙏🏽👍🏼
Exactly Katie, you are so very right. My eyes are filled with tears watching this. The kindness from Suzanne and her husband and the knowing that you are the right people for her beautiful croft. Honest people doing what is right. I am thrilled by this news and can’t wait to read your story one day Katie. Much love x
So excited for you and Scott. Suzanna and her hubby are gems of pure gold . The haven Katie that this will provide for you both is your beacon, giving you safety, rest and rejuvenation. Thank you, thank you, thank you 😊❤🇬🇧xx
Bless Susanna and her husband. Hope you are able to work out the access. As for a book, I think it would be amazing. If you don’t write about your experience, a book the combining the little nuggets of local history, old recipes from your Granny, restoring furniture and the house would also be amazing.
Thank you for your update on Hillcroft, great video.Yes Suzanne and her husband have done a great thing I'm grateful they have helped create the next chapter of yours and Scott's life, with you all the way, take care.
Katie, you must make the Lord smile 😊 you give him the glory and it radiates from your dear heart. I’ve prayed for you all for quite awhile and especially in this season. God is good!
Katie, I am so happy for you and Scott. Yes just look how things have worked out - Hod bless Susanna and her husband. And it comes to show that social platforms can be such a blessing.
Aww getting emotional watching this, true human kindness is shown in our Scottish Isle community everyone who donated to the kofi fund, donating to Amazon wish list, the people lending trailer and chainsaw and especially to Suzanne and family your an example to us all a light in the darkness praying 🙏 everything goes well with access to Hillcroft and moving when that happens and it goes smoothly. Thank you for this update taking the time to make these videos, showing the beauty of Scotland we should never take for granted. When you move to Hillcroft, if your near Inverness take a trip to Channonary Point on the Black Isle at low tide rising in the summer fantastic spot to see dolphins in the wild. Hillcroft might be a great spot of seeing the Aurora if you have dark skies
I am so happy you have this opportunity. My husband and myself have been through the ringer ourselves trying to move into a smaller mobile home after having to sell our 3 bedroom home and all the problems which are too many to count, I am overwhelmed. Watching your move and getting such good news give me hope that we may have some good news too, with Gods help. I cannot wait to see what you have in store for your new adventure.
Your voice sounds a little stronger today with the good news. Praying the path to Hillcroft opens easily. Thank you to Suzanna and her husband for being incredible humans. A fine example for all of us. Thank you for helping this fine couple.
This is the happiest outcome to this challenging chapter. Blessings to Suzanna and her husband. May they feel comfort in knowing their home will be well cared for and that they have truly rescued you two from a disastrous situation. There truly are good people in this world and when we look out for each other, all will be well.
Maybe not the time but in the future would love to hear Suzannas and hubby’s stories about how they went about restoring. They must have had to navigate access , materials , doing the work trials and tribulations themselves to get the cottage to where it is now. Hopefully when things are more settled we can hear their stories as you set about your restoration. Important to have oral histories . Must preserve what susanna and hubby have done to save this piece oh history.
Every time I hear you relate this story of this lovely person I get teary. The generosity and kindness is overwhelming and goes to show that good people attract good people. I can't tell you Katie and Scott how happy I am for you and I am so anxious to see it inside. Your treatment of it will make it a beautiful and comfortable place. How much acreage is it? I just giggled about the old inspector's judgements of the house. What a nice happening for Susanna and her husband. Susanna has provided a miracle and all the way to Milwaukee, WI,, USA, I am so grateful. A world of thanks to her!!
These are such lovely people to help in the way they have.❤ God leads us all in all things and even on a path to helping others. I know, that you guys finishing her dream, brings them joy.
It is so heartwarming to see how much love and kindness your unfortunate predicament has generated I'm sure you both will make Susanna and her husband and your followers proud when you make Hillcroft into the beautiful home it deserves ❤
Acts of pure kindness and generosity still exist in 2024. Suzanna & her husband are true examples to the rest of us of truly giving unconditionally to others in need. Thank you to them both for having hearts of service.
🙋♀️❤️ Yes! I'd love to read your book! Many books, maybe. I think of Susanna and her husband, affectionately. My husband and I are limited because of health. There are many things we'd love to do...... .but we are grateful for everything we still can do. ❤❤
I can't wait to see your house! The LORD is awesome! After my husband passed, I wanted to move home to my island but I had no house to move to. The Lord supplied me with a cabin for a dollar and it has been five years and I have everything including flower and veggie gardens! Lots of hard work but really worth it! HE will do the same for you! God Bless Katie & Scott
Susanna and her husband came along just when you needed them! I hope you can move as soon as possible. Being on the mainland will mean getting supplies is not so difficult and Katie will be able to visit her mother more easily. I’m looking forward to seeing inside the cottage. I loved hearing about the inspector in the 1970’s. It’s good to see you smiling Katie.
Thank you for the update Katie...it brought tears of happiness to my eyes. I think you should write a book ...I would purchase it for sure. Big hugs from Canada's West Coast xxx
Good luck to you both as you begin your onward journey. Life is strange isn’t it, but what often appears to be an insurmountable problem can take us to where we were always meant to be. Really happy for you both and I’m sure that any problems you encounter will eventually be resolved.
You are a born storyteller Susannah , and remember you can take the island with you in your heart . New beginnings and a new place to love. You will make it happen . With you in spirit as my family and I have been renting nearly two years when we lost our house to huge slips and just got out in time. From beautiful bush and views of the beach below , to a dear little cottage on a main road surrounded by many neighbours . So many kind strangers gave us furniture utensils crockery beds a tv and a stranger rented us the house allowing us to have our two dogs . Will be forever grateful to the people of Auckland . So take heart and it will get its own momentum. We are now finally able to look for a new home hopefully in before Christmas. You have many kind people wishing you well and that will have its own impetus . Cheers from NZ
What a lovely Chanel I have found today. I wish you all the very best and lots of peace. Bless Suzanna. But wow what a beautiful spot there on that island. I live on an island too but it’s off the east coast of Australia. Not sure if I’d thaw out in one of your winters. Much love. 🌻
I'm glad things are working out for you guys; I've been praying that they would. I don't believe in coincidences but believe that God is at work behind the scenes to work things out for our good. Can't wait to see the inside of your new place!

Susanna, you and your husband are such a blessing. Don't know the whole problem with the island but you have blessed them and God knows your goodness.
Absolutely

We wish them both well.

The owners as well as you both are very fortunate to have found each other. I have just found this channel and started binge watching it. Love and good luck to you all. Deborah. North Carolina 😊😊❤❤
Working together would bring peace to this world . ❤
Amen!
Hillcroft sounds like another island, one with fences as it's natural boundary instead of beeches and water. You both will create a Wonderful green oasis on the hill, I am sure of it. 🙏🏽👍🏼
Good, sound moral principles! Perfectly said! I can’t wait to see the pictures!

Hopeful outlook…will be such a relief for you. The wheels are moving in a positive direction. So wonderful to hear you hopeful again.
Wish you all the best I loved where you were , but it looks lovely where you are going God bless you ❤

It is so heartwarming to see how much love and kindness your unfortunate predicament has generated I'm sure you both will make Susanna and her husband and your followers proud when you make Hillcroft into the beautiful home it deserves ❤
Acts of pure kindness and generosity still exist in 2024. Suzanna & her husband are true examples to the rest of us of truly giving unconditionally to others in need. Thank you to them both for having hearts of service.
🙋♀️❤️ Yes! I'd love to read your book! Many books, maybe.
I think of Susanna and her husband, affectionately. My husband and I are limited because of health. There are many things we'd love to do...... .but we are grateful for everything we still can do. ❤❤
So excited for you two!❤️👍🏼
Blessings to yours and Suzannahs family 🙏 ❤ may we all be safe in our homes with our loved ones and dear pets.
I can't wait to see your house! The LORD is awesome! After my husband passed, I wanted to move home to my island but I had no house to move to. The Lord supplied me with a cabin for a dollar and it has been five years and I have everything including flower and veggie gardens! Lots of hard work but really worth it! HE will do the same for you! God Bless Katie & Scott
And that is what we are praying for Katie that God will bless you with a home your TRUST AND FAITH IN GOD is a real witness

It's been mental now for the last two weeks. I need a PA just to keep up with all of the correspondence!
Susanna and her husband came along just when you needed them! I hope you can move as soon as possible. Being on the mainland will mean getting supplies is not so difficult and Katie will be able to visit her mother more easily. I’m looking forward to seeing inside the cottage. I loved hearing about the inspector in the 1970’s. It’s good to see you smiling Katie.
The home I grew up in had 7-ft ceilings...it always felt cozy 💝
Thank you for the update Katie...it brought tears of happiness to my eyes. I think you should write a book ...I would purchase it for sure. Big hugs from Canada's West Coast xxx
Wow, what a lovely person!
Good luck to you both as you begin your onward journey. Life is strange isn’t it, but what often appears to be an insurmountable problem can take us to where we were always meant to be. Really happy for you both and I’m sure that any problems you encounter will eventually be resolved.
You are a born storyteller Susannah , and remember you can take the island with you in your heart .
New beginnings and a new place to love. You will make it happen .
With you in spirit as my family and I have been renting nearly two years when we lost our house to huge slips and just got out in time. From beautiful bush and views of the beach below , to a dear little cottage on a main road surrounded by many neighbours . So many kind strangers gave us furniture utensils crockery beds a tv and a stranger rented us the house allowing us to have our two dogs . Will be forever grateful to the people of Auckland .
So take heart and it will get its own momentum.
We are now finally able to look for a new home hopefully in before Christmas.
You have many kind people wishing you well and that will have its own impetus . Cheers from NZ
What a lovely Chanel I have found today. I wish you all the very best and lots of peace. Bless Suzanna. But wow what a beautiful spot there on that island. I live on an island too but it’s off the east coast of Australia. Not sure if I’d thaw out in one of your winters. Much love. 🌻
Life goes on. Maybe this is better for you both.
I'm glad things are working out for you guys; I've been praying that they would. I don't believe in coincidences but believe that God is at work behind the scenes to work things out for our good. Can't wait to see the inside of your new place!
