Barlocco Island off the west coast of Scotland is for sale, with a minimum asking price of £150,000. Buyers from across the world are interested, attracted by the island’s remote and rugged charm.

Measuring twenty-five acres the island is almost totally uninhabited and has no buildings on it. The only man-made structure is a flood pond suitable for livestock, according to the site listing.

What the island can offer is a stunning view of the Scottish coastline, a pebble beach, and an unspoiled natural environment to enjoy. People can reach the island by foot or quad bike at low tide, or by boat at other times.
