A community trust on one of the most beautiful Hebridean islands is offering the chance to lease a three-bedroom farmhouse with 27 acres of land.
The isle of Gigha lies between the Kintyre Peninsula and Islay, and has just one town, Ardminish.
The island itself has been community owned since 2002, with an elected board of voluntary directors managing and developing the assets of Gigha and taking forward plans and projects for the community.
The Isle of Gigha Heritage Trust is offering Achavinish Farmhouse for lease, a smallholding with a three-bedroom house, outbuildings and around 27 acres of agricultural land.
The island is known for its fertile soil, with its land completely without trees from 1700 until 1850.

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
