Fancy living on an uninhabited Scottish island? Now’s your chance: a cache of lighthouse buildings is for sale in Orkney’s isle of Copinsay, for £80,000.

Copinsay is off the east coast of the Orkney Mainland and is presently uninhabited. It’s believed that the last residents left the island in 1958, after which the RSPB acquired the island and its sister, Horse of Copinsay, in 1978, to use as a bird reserve.

The island’s lighthouse dates from 1915. It belongs to the Northern Lighthouse Board and is operated remotely from Edinburgh. Sadly, the handsome building is not included in the sale via K Allan Properties. However, its ancillary buildings, which include a 7-bedroom cottage and three outbuildings, are presented as ‘an unparalleled lifestyle’ opportunity and renovation project.

Estate agents K Allan Properties say it offers the ‘renovation opportunity of a lifetime’.

Hard work will be needed to turn the buildings into a dream home, which is made more challenging as the property is only accessible by boat and helicopter. It has a freshwater supply from a privately restored well, a generator-operated electric pump, and electricity provided by storage batteries and Calor gas heating. The listing also includes two quad bikes and a sailing dinghy for getting around the island.
