We are Allan and Eileen Sutherland. We’ve been married for 35
years and have 3 children and 4 grandchildren.
In May 2003, we came over to Bulgaria and were shown a range
of properties by Stara Planina estate agency. Two days and nine
properties later, we found a semi-derelict farmhouse set in two
and a half acres in the village of Hotnitsa, approximately 15
kilometres from Veliko Tarnovo.
Since then, we have fully renovated the house, demolished some
outbuildings and re-built others to create space for shared
facilities.
We are currently working with a Bulgarian architect and
Amazonails in the UK to design and build environmentally friendly
strawbale houses. (See the buttons on the left for more info.)
In 2006, we cycled from Newcastle to Hotnitsa. This photo shows us having just arrived - after 1,912 miles!
