Insh Island, located in the Inner Hebrides, is one of Scotland‘s “last untouched private islands”.
The entire island is currently on the market for £500,000, which is less than the average price for a two-bed flat in central London.
It offers panoramic views of the vast Atlantic Ocean, and is home to incredible marine wildlife, such as dolphins and seals.
From dramatic cliffs to magnificent stargazing, the slice of wilderness has everything you need to relax and unwind in nature.

Spend hours strolling along the untouched coastal paths, or, if you’re feeling adventurous, grab a kayak and head out to sea, or grab a rod and fish for wild salmon.
Insh Island is located close to Easdale, Scotland’s smallest inhabited island, which is home to the World Stone Skimming Championships.
From Easdale, you can easily take a 3-5 minute passenger ferry to Ellenabeich on Seil Island from where you can head north to Oban, the nearest large town.
The island has no established buildings on it, but there is a “cave house” on the northwestern coastline.
It’s a completely blank canvas, perfect for transforming into a private family retreat, or a conservation project.
According to estate agents Savills, there is plenty of opportunity for renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power.
The agents add that there is great potential for a glamping site or organic farm on the island.
Savills said: “Beyond its natural appeal, Insh Island represents a compelling investment.
“As demand for exclusive, eco-conscious destinations continues to grow, this island is ideally suited for tourism, wellness retreats, or even use as a film location.
“Land of this kind, wild, private, and unspoiled,is increasingly rare and offers lasting legacy value.”
Property agent Cameron Ewer added: “One of Scotland’s last, untouched private islands.
“As someone who appreciates the value of natural beauty, this is just too good an opportunity for any like-minded investor to ignore.”
Shuna Island
And Insh isn’t the only Scottish Island that is currently on sale after Shuna Island went on the market for the first time in 80 years.
Spanning across 1,110 acres, the island has been in the hands of the same family for the last eight decades.
The island, which has eight residential properties on it, as well as a castle, is on the market for a whopping £5.5 million.
It is located just off the coast from Appin, Argyll and Bute and features a working farm and a holiday home business.
Shuna Castle, which was built in the early 20th century is in ruins, but offers panoramic views of the stunning Scottish coast.
