Have you ever wanted to get away from everyone and live alone on an island?
Well you’re just in luck. An entire island in Shetland is on the market for offers over £250,000.
The 63.75 acre island of Linga is located in the scenic Vailia Sound on the west side of Shetland and boasts spectacular scenery and hosts an abundance of wildlife.

The rural private island features its very own two-acre loch and has been uninhabited since 1934 when the Sinclair family kept sheep on the isle’s now ruined crofts.
The island also has planning consent for rebuilding of the two derelict cottages and the erection of a new cottage, along with the building of a pier, storage shed with reception area, new agricultural buildings and a two acre loch with traditional watermill.
And you don’t need to worry about power as the planning consent also includes a windmill, solar panels and septic tanks with reed beds for sewage and rainwater capture - making it ECO friendly and energy efficient.
Does this sound like the project for you? Head to VLADI Private Islands to find out more.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
