Mullagrach Island, the most northerly of Scotland’s Summer Isles, has been put on the market for £500,000, offering the ultimate remote getaway. This secluded island spans 88.7 acres, featuring lush greenery, beaches, cliffs, and caves perfect for exploration. Located two hours from Inverness and a 35-minute boat ride from the mainland, it provides an unparalleled escape from modern life. Marketed by Galbraith in the Highland capital, the island was purchased 18 years ago by its current owners, who have focused on conserving its sensitive plant species and diverse birdlife, including geese, kittiwakes, and fulmars. The island’s single building, a Swiss-made log cabin, is designed to withstand the rugged Scottish weather, complete with solar panels, box beds, a kitchen, a wood-burning stove, and an outdoor composting toilet.
Constructed with sustainability and comfort in mind, the cabin features a heather-clad roof that blends seamlessly into the landscape. Although the rainwater collection system is in place, drinking water must be brought in bottles. The island includes a landing stage and ground tackle for mooring, with the option to purchase a boat separately. Mullagrach Island’s rugged beauty and commitment to wildlife conservation make it an exceptional opportunity for those seeking solitude and a connection with nature. Viewings are limited due to weather conditions and accessibility, requiring prospective buyers to be physically fit to travel by boat and climb ladders to the island. This unique property promises an extraordinary retreat for nature lovers and conservation enthusiasts alike.
