Own a Scottish Island for £350k!

Hildasay, a 267-acre Scottish island off Shetland's west coast, is now available for purchase at £350,000, offering a unique escape opportunity. The island is accessible solely by boat from the mainland and surrounding islands, featuring its own pier as the primary landing point.

This historic isle boasts extensive coastlines, two freshwater lochs, and gently rising terrain, reaching approximately 105ft at its highest point. It provides serene views of the landscape and sea, along with a traditional bothy for shelter. Birdlife and marine wildlife are abundant, contributing to its natural appeal.

Historically, Hildasay was home to around 30 people in 1891, with granite quarrying and herring curing being key industries. Remnants of a purpose-built railway and substantial granite blocks from this era are still visible today. The island gained recent attention when adventurer Chris Lewis stayed in its sole house during the Covid pandemic, later documenting his experience in a book.

Kelvin Anderson estate agents describe Hildasay as a distinctive property offering privacy and heritage in a remarkable island setting. This opportunity represents a chance to own an entire island in Shetland, a rarity in today's market.
