Even at this distance, you get a great flavour of their energy, the ethos and the fascination - particularly liked this, re the waterwheel: "it will turn with no more than a litre of water filling each bucket – enough to turn about 6 tonnes of machinery"
Great find. I really should get out more...

Well I got out more... in fact far North to Sutherland and found this, alongside an abandoned bothy, way out in the hills:
A circle of stones, about 8 feet across, looks like all you'd need to do is rebuild the dome and start baking bread and roasting venison...
Nah, I think it's a grouse butt.
