An entire Scottish island, complete with a ruined castle and several holiday homes, has gone on sale for £5.5m.
Shuna Island spans approximately 1,110 acres and is on sale for the first time after being held by the same family for 80 years.
Estate agents Sotheby’s International Realty said the island was a “truly rare offering, rich in heritage, natural wonder and possibility”.

The historic castle also has the potential for redevelopment, subject to planning rules, according to the estate agent.
