It’s a breeding haven for sea birds like terns, gulls, turnpikes, and puffins.
The warmer waters bring in sharks, dolphins, seals, and sometimes a whale to spot.
It would be hard to find a small house at this price in most major cities.
The coastline is rugged and ever-changing.
There is wildlife everywhere, and plenty of entertainment, too.
Adventure sports, cultural festivals and fantastic tasty local produce abound, particularly cheeses and chocolate.
There are harbors, piers, and romantic castles to explore in an area seeped in history.
When tired of adventuring on Arran, Pladda is a haven to retreat to.
Just 28 acres, the island’s size would be very manageable for most people.

The house needs some work and the walled garden hasn’t produced in a while.
These can all be seen as creative projects though, if youre handy.
Also, the abundant outbuildings could be restored to any purpose a new owner might have in mind.
And if youre wondering about what it takes to maintain a lighthouse, you don’t have to worry.
The lighthouse operates automatically, and is monitored remotely from Edinburgh.
