This Scottish island is up for grabs! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Fancy living like a laird in the middle of nowhere? Shuna island with its wild beaches, old cottages and crumbling castle, might just be calling your name… if your wallet can handle it.

Let’s break it down, mateys!

A dream thicker than Scottish mist...

You know that feeling when quitting your job sounds like a better idea every ten minutes? Picture this instead: waking up in a stone cottage, sheep grazing outside, the sea as your morning soundtrack, and an abandoned castle for your Insta backdrop. It’s not clickbait, it’s Shuna: 445 hectares of wild moorland, remote beaches and wooded hills.

Shuna: not just an island, but a whole vibe (and a few ruins)

  • Eight houses already built (seven are rented out to mist-loving adventurers)

  • A crumbling 20th-century castle for candlelit dinners… or ghost hunts, your call

  • Beaches so quiet only deer and sea eagles know they exist

  • Getting there? If you're in a rush, a helicopter from Glasgow gets you there in 30 minutes. Otherwise… better start rowing

Freedom, Scottish style...

Owning an island sounds like total freedom, but it does come with a wee bit of paperwork:

  • That castle you fancy fixing up? You'll need planning permission and probably a few wildlife surveys

  • Fancy popping solar panels on your cottage? That’s another application, stamped and double-checked

  • Rumour has it, even the eagles have to fill in a form before relocating

So, are you ready to swap your flat for an island where every morning smells like wild heather? It’s a tempting offer: eight houses and a castle to play with. But watch out, behind every patch of fog might be a little adventure… and a few red tape headaches to go with it.

For the serious (and seriously rich), the luxury estate agents are waiting. For the rest of us? Let your imagination run free over the Scottish moors—no wellies or umbrella required.
