This is no ordinary wastewater treatment plant, shunning electricity and running entirely on air. This though requires the four metre high welcome-to-Briach Nessie feature. The boulders beneath our feet are too free-draining and a soakaway is a risk of pollution of the water environment, apparently. So, we will be discharging direct to the Black Burn under a 10:10:10 consent. I don't follow the logic but I am just a humble gardener - I leave that sort of thing to the experts in SEPA. To live with my conscience, I will of course be collecting the effluent in a bucket to enhance my cabbage patch.

Invitation to Tender: Phase I Desk Study Required
We all want to leave our mark on the world. Googling yourself is of course the standard measure but taking things a step further is to get yourself into a Landmark Envirocheck. Well, I am sure you'll be ordering one today to see if I've been successful. Off-grid as we are here, we have to install our own sewage treatment. In lieu of a hi-tech Sun Lane type reedbed system, we opted for this beauty.
