Remote Scottish island could be yours for just £80,000 – which is the same price as a garage in London

A REMOTE Scottish island is on the market for £80,000 – the same price as a London garage.

Deer Island, or Eilean an Fheidh, on Loch Moidary, in the west Highlands, is up for auction for the same price as a garage on the Shaftesbury Estate, Battersea, South London.

The 11-acre uninhabited island has no houses or amenities and is covered in a patch of native woodland and auctioneers said there is “zero chance of intrusion”.

It neighbours Eilean Shona, owned by Vanessa Branson, the sister of billionaire Richard Branson, which is described as’ a car-free wilderness heaven’ with a number of holiday cottages.

WILDERNESS HEAVEN

Deer Island island is around 45 miles from Fort William, in the Scottish Highlands.

It was owned by the Clanranald of Moidart dynasty for generations, but it is not clear who is selling it when it goes under the hammer on March 26.

Future Auctions, which is handling the sale of Deer Island said it was a “rare opportunity” to own your own private Scottish island “nestled in the stunning and tranquil Loch Moidart on the dramatic West Coast of Scotland.”
