Robyn Swan lives off-grid in Scotland, spending £260 monthly

Robyn Swan, 33, sold her possessions and moved to a seven-acre plot in Scotland in December 2023 to live off-grid. She built a container home for £4,200 and initially lived without electricity for eight months while saving for solar panels. Now, Robyn lives with her partner and is about 40% self-sufficient, spending only £260 a month on bills. She grows her own food, raises animals, and has reduced her grocery costs significantly, relying less on supermarkets. Robyn aims for 70% self-sufficiency by summer and plans to sell produce from her land. She has adapted to her new lifestyle, focusing on health and sustainability while enjoying the peace of mind it brings.
