Description

Shuna Island, a 1,110-acre Scottish coastline, offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history and natural beauty. The island's 9,000-year history is marked by ancient Stone Age burial mounds, Iron Age ritual swords, and a castle built by Antarctic explorer George Buckley. The island's diverse landscape, ranging from secluded beaches to grazing pastures and ancient woodlands, supports a rich biodiversity. The properties on the island include a mix of traditional and modern homes, each with its own unique character. The island's history is woven into its landscape, with ancient burial sites, Iron Age artifacts, and a castle that dominates the northern skyline.

The farm benefits from government agricultural support, and the island is easily accessible by boat from Craobh Haven Marina. With its rich history, stunning natural beauty, and private nature, Shuna Island is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a truly unique and special property.
