A historic pub on an idyllic Scottish island with white sand beaches just like the Caribbean is up for sale.
The Cross Inn, Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides, is described as "great fun" in a "wonderful community" by its current owner.
The gastropub is being sold for £399,000 on an island compared to 'Caribbean beach without the crowds' or the South Pacific, due to its white sands.
It has a gigantic beer garden and a rustic bar and was refurbished during the pandemic.
The pub is on the Hebridean Way walking and cycling route and is popular with tourists and islanders.

It is expected to generate between £200,000 to £500,000 but the cruise ship market has not yet been tapped into.

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 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.
