PIG DECISION

Dog walker grows for it after selling all her belongings and moving into a container

A WOMAN has spoken about her rent-free life in an off-grid container in rural Scotland - while harvesting rainwater and growing her own food.

Robyn Swan, 33, sold all her belongings and moved in December 2023.

She bought seven acres of land near Stirling for £185,000 and had a 40ft by 8ft container built there to live in - for £4200.

Robyn now aims to become fully self-sufficient.

She started out without electricity for eight months to save up £4500 to have solar panels installed so she could generate her own power.

Robyn also began growing her own food, rearing animals including chickens, rabbits and pigs - and harvesting her own water.
