Tiny Scots island on sale for £2.5m

A tiny island off the north west coast of Scotland is being put up for sale with a guide price of £2.5m.

The 800-acre (323.7ha) Tanera Mor is the largest and only inhabited island in the Summer Isles in Wester Ross.

Current owners, the Wilder family, bought the island in 1996 after selling their dairy farm in Wiltshire.

Talks about a possible buyout by the local community living on the mainland nearby had taken place. However, it is now being offered on the open market.

The island is currently run by Mr Wilder's daughter Lizzie and her husband Richard Williams.

They held discussions with the local Coigach community to establish whether they would be interested in buying the island.

The Coigach community development company decided not proceed due to the number of projects they are currently managing. These include two micro-renewable energy projects and the recently completed community purchase of the former Achiltibuie Smokehouse.
