The Isle of Luing, a former slate island with a population of around 170, is located off the west coast of Scotland and is accessible by a daily ferry service from Oban. The island offers a range of outdoor activities, including walking, sailing, and fishing, and is home to a diverse range of wildlife. The Old Smiddy, a slate bothy with a box profile roof and timber roof trusses, is located on the east side of the main road and offers views of the coast. The property benefits from some services nearby, including water, telephone, and electric, but the buyer will be responsible for installing a septic tank. The buyer will also need to construct the access road from the existing road to the plot. The island has a shop, post office, village halls, church, and heritage centre with café, as well as a medical practice on the nearby island of Seil. The nearby town of Oban offers a range of amenities, including retail outlets, professional services, a leisure centre, and a cinema.
