Sorry but I found it first, I posted on one of the current affairs threads, post office one I think, last week so it's all mine!  Just didn't get the right lottery ticket yet, but have bought another one so hands off  ;D   

Unless anyone would like to timeshare or possibly landshare with me of course, but has to be someone happy to live off grid as there are no services, and I'd prefer someone with a boat to get to the Coop on Benbecula for coffee supplies occasionally..

The reality of renovating the croft would be challenging even with a lottery win in the bank...

Bloomer, you're on  :thumbsup:   You can have the stone building since you can probably renovate it, but I may need help to build my log cabin across the other side so we both have privacy when you're in residence  :eyelashes:

Post was in the Cairo heat thread by VF incidentally, 13 July so  :P HelenVF, but even if you do buy it as a holiday home you'll need a year round resident caretaker and I reckon Bloomer and I could jobshare so any way's a winner..

i think the whole concept of door locks would be optional up there...


the details suggest the land can support 200 sheep on 970 acres that's not many really, definitely going to have to be a holiday home!!!
