Located on a small peninsula in northern Scotland, Scoraig is an off-the-grid settlement accessible only by boat or a five-mile walk. Whilst its remote location and cold, wet climate makes for a harsh lifestyle for its fewer than 100 residents, it is one they fully embrace. Although disparate in their interests and personalities, each resident seems to share a few key things in common: a general scepticism of modernity, an interest in creative work, and a desire to radically reorganize established ways of doing and being. In the absence of grid electricity, each of Scoraig’s households generates its electricity largely through its own, individually connected turbine, which is usually complemented by an idiosyncratic array of other technologies, including solar panels, hydroelectric turbines, and back-up diesel generators. Although built following the same basic design, these wind turbines come in a smorgasbord of styles, owing partly to a heritage of working creatively with scrap materials and adopting a thriftful lifestyle by transforming whatever is at hand to suit the purpose.
