Eilean Nan Gabhar (or ‘Island of the Goats’) is a beautiful secluded island on Loch Craignish just off Argyll’s west coast - and it could all be yours.

The Scottish island covers almost 13 acres and is completely unspoilt, with its pebble beaches and dense woodland making it an ideal natural habitat for birds and other wildlife.

Situated close to the shore of Scotland’s mainland near Old Poltalloch, Eilean Nan Gabhar also offers sheltered anchorage, a mix of lush vegetation, grassland, gorse and impressive rock formations.

On the market with Galbraith, the home is available for offers over £120,000, after being owned by the same family for more than 70 years.

The listing on the agent’s website states: "Lying completely untouched and unspoilt for generations, the island offers a rare opportunity to acquire a stunning oasis that has benefited from its own natural regeneration."

A rough foot path links the island’s north and south coasts, while a sheltered cove to the east could be the perfect place for a pontoon. Surrounded by the waters of Loch Craignish, the views from Eilean Nan Gabhar are spectacular.
