A remote, uninhabited Scottish island could be yours for just $190,000 | Dinogo

If you’ve ever dreamed of escaping the daily grind to a secluded island with no neighbors, this could be the perfect opportunity.

"Owning a Scottish private island still carries a certain romantic charm, offering an escape from the everyday rush and a chance to relax in some of the most breathtaking scenery," said Aaron Edgar of Galbraith Group, the agent representing the sale.

The potential buyer likely won’t be commuting. The nearest town is around six miles away, and Dumfries, the closest train station, is a one-hour bus ride from there. London and Edinburgh are more than 350 and 100 miles away, respectively.

Spanning about 25 acres, the island is covered in lush grass and rocky outcrops leading to the sea. There are no buildings, only a flood pond that provides water to wildlife and livestock during the winter months.

According to the listing, no one has ever applied for permission to build on the island. Therefore, it would be up to the buyer to explore the potential for development with the local authorities.

During low tide, the island can be accessed on foot, by tractor, or quadbike. At other times, a pebble beach provides space for boats to dock, making it an ideal spot to explore the island, enjoy some cold-water swimming, or have a waterside picnic," Edgar added.

The island is located within a Site of Special Scientific Interest, a UK designation for areas rich in rare species of flora and fauna. It's home to wildlife such as great black-backed gulls and rare plants like rock sea lavender and fragrant orchids.

The agent anticipates high interest in this private paradise. “We’ve seen strong demand for private islands, both from domestic and international buyers, having managed several similar sales in Scotland,” Edgar said.
