A “unique” private stone harbour and slipway with a bothy and traditional net store built in circa 1830 is up for sale for offers over £300,000.
Property agent Savills is marketing Sandside Harbour, located near Thurso in the north coast of Scotland, overlooking Orkney and the Pentland Firth.
The traditional stone harbour has “immaculate” stone-built harbour walls forming a simple basin as well as a slipway from which boats may be launched.

The harbour is used on a grace and favour basis- by local small leisure boats and a few boats that are used for lobster and crab fishing.
The net store is also A-listed and is of traditional stone construction.
The bothy, which is currently unoccupied and requires extensive upgrading, forms the upper floor of the net store building.
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
