    First thing to do is get a few builders round to get some quotes and also get some architects to quote for planning etc. You will definitely need a building warrant and may also need planning permission, (not too up on Thurso's requirements, although I do know they are one of the better councils, thank god you don't live in Midlothian).

    As for price, well, definitely how long is a piece of string, all depends on what materials you want to use, specifications, sizes etc. Get at least 3 quotes and compare...
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands
