The beautiful Scottish island on sale for the same price as the average UK home
The entire island, complete with wooded areas, sandy beaches, and diverse wildlife habitats, was first listed in 2024 with a guide price of £325,000.
But it has since been reduced to £275,000, meaning the inhabited stretch of land is around the average cost of a home in the UK.
According to the latest data from Zoopla, the average British house would cost around £268,400.
The island is also around half the price of an average London flat, which data from 2024 shows was an eye-watering £545,000.
Eilean Mor is located within Loch Sunart, on the west coast of Scotland, near the Ardnamurchan Peninsula.
It covers an area of 30 acres, and can be reached by boat or low-tide causeway.
The island 'offers a unique blend of natural beauty and historical intrigue', according to Bell Ingram, the estate agency handling the sale.
'The island's diverse terrain and tidal nature make it a fascinating destination for adventurers and nature enthusiasts alike.
'The waters around Eilean Mor are teeming with marine life and the island itself is a haven for seabirds, making it an excellent spot for birdwatching.
'The untouched natural environment provides a sanctuary for various species, offering visitors a glimpse into the thriving ecosystems of the Inner Hebrides.'
The advert notes that the island, which has been owned by the same family for generations, comes without any form of planning permission.
And potential buyers should be aware that Eilean Mor is part of the Sunart Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Sunart Special Area of Conservation (SAC).
This means that development and construction are strictly regulated to protect the island's rare habitats and wildlife, limiting what can be built or altered on the island.
The local area also offers a range of activities, from exploring nearby hiking trails and ancient woodlands to visiting the Ardnamurchan Lighthouse — the most westerly point on the British mainland.
The island 'offers a unique blend of natural beauty and historical intrigue', according to Bell Ingram, the estate agency handling the sale
Wildlife cruises, kayaking, and visits to local distilleries provide further opportunities to enjoy the stunning natural surroundings and rich cultural heritage of the region.
Last month, another island – an uninhabited 90-acre parcel of land off Scotland's west coast – was put up for sale for offers over £500,000.
Insh Island was previously owned by the National Trust for Scotland. The island was left to the organisation in the will of David Brearley, who reportedly lived in a cave on the island for 30 years up until 2003.
In a move criticised by some, the National Trust for Scotland reportedly put the island up for auction in 2019 with a guide price of £125,000, but sold it for £353,000.

Second day of disruption expected after Storm Floris batters Scotland and Ireland
Storm Floris caused widespread disruption across Scotland and Ireland on Monday, with wind gusts reaching up to 82mph, leading to fallen trees and power lines. More than 53,000 homes in Scotland and Ireland experienced power outages as a direct result of the severe weather conditions. Transport networks were significantly affected, with all rail lines north of Scotland's Central Belt closed, over 150 flights cancelled, and the majority of western Scotland ferry services suspended. Notable incidents included two flights to Inverness and Aberdeen being forced to turn back, resulting in 900-mile 'flights to nowhere', and campervans being blown over on the A87 in Skye. Disruption to rail and ferry services is anticipated to continue into Tuesday, with some ferry routes potentially affected until Wednesday.

British Airways owner IAG's shares have soared 130% in the past year - are they worth buying now?
International Airlines Group has been flying high so far in 2025, with shares and revenue rising together. Since the beginning of the year, the British Airways owner's shares have gained more than 25 per cent, having recovered swiftly from a Trump-tariff related downturn. Over the past 12 months, shares are up almost 130 per cent, and over the past five they have risen 200 per cent. And yet, look back further and the firm's share price resembles the familiar undulation of the Alps seen from 30,000 feet. That being the case, the drop in altitude seen at the beginning of Covid is something of a sheer cliff edge. Shares haven't quite recovered to the highs they were at immediately before global travel shut down almost overnight, and there are tentative rumblings of potential turbulence ahead. But performance is positive, and analysts say IAG shares remain undervalued by investors. Last week, the firm posted double-digit profit gains for the first half of the year, as it boosted capacity on flights to the US despite the threat of tariffs. IAG - formed in January 2011 after a merger agreement between BA and Iberia, the flag carriers of the UK and Spain respectively - reported revenue increased to €15.9billion in the first half of the year, increasing from €14.7billion a year ago. Pretax profit, meanwhile, rose to €1.7billion, from €1.0billion a year ago. In its first quarter results, IAG swung to a pretax profit of €239million, compared to a loss of €87million in the first quarter of 2024. Luis Gallego, chief executive of IAG said: 'Our strong performance in the first half of 2025 reflects the resilience of demand for travel and the success of our ongoing transformation, underpinned by the fundamental strengths of our group.' For the whole of 2024, the firm posted revenue of €32.1billion, increasing a healthy nine per cent from €29.5billion the year prior. This is expected to rise to €33.6billion for the current year, and to €34.8billion the year after. Pretax profit also rose by 16.6 per cent to €3.6billion, compared to €3.1billion in 2023. Loredana Muharremi, equity analyst at Morningstar, said: 'IAG's margin expansion was driven by a mix of both higher pricing power and cost efficiencies. 'The pricing environment remained favourable, especially in premium cabins, while structural cost efficiencies (fleet modernization, artificial intelligence-driven cost controls, and operational improvements) helped maintain high margins.' IAG's fortunes have changed The good times experienced by IAG in recent years have not always been so. Unsurprisingly, the onset of global lockdowns saw IAG suffer tremendously, and shares rapidly tumbled. Since then, IAG has come a long way in its recovery. Dan Coatsworth, investment analyst at IAG, said: 'They've nearly recovered all the lost territory. While many stocks are now trading significantly above pre-Covid levels, IAG's bounce back is better than it looks. He added: 'The number of shares in issue has increased by two-thirds since Covid as IAG had to go cap in hand to investors during the pandemic to avoid getting into financial trouble. That means any earnings now have to be split across a much larger pool of shares. 'Once you look at the headline earnings rather than the share price, you'll see the business has been making big strides.' Lale Akoner, global market analyst at Etoro, said: 'The sharp recovery reflects resilient earnings, strong transatlantic and Latin American demand, and a cleaner balance sheet. 'A temporary dip earlier this year driven by geopolitical concerns and oil price volatility, proved short-lived as investors refocused on solid fundamentals and strong cash generation. 'Operational performance continues to surprise to the upside, particularly in premium travel.' However, while the firm has been on the up more recently, this kind of volatility can play havoc with airline stocks. Akonder added: 'The outlook remains positive, but not risk-free.' Oil price fluctuations are a major headwind for airlines, with fuel being the primary operating expense for the sector. Big swings in prices can hit profitability, and can make it difficult for airlines to price tickets effectively. The firm said it expects to spend €7.1billion on fuel over the course of the whole of 2025. IAG hedges fuel price risk using derivative instruments, which allow them to reduce the negative impact of any fuel price spikes. Aarin Chiekrie, equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, told This is Money: 'Fuel prices are likely to remain the biggest risk. 'This issue looks well hedged in the short term, but external shocks could send fuel prices higher again, which would likely weigh on profitability.' Meanwhile, US leisure travel has softened on the back of tariffs and Middle East capacity has been hit as a result of geopolitical tensions. Chris Beauchamp, chief market analyst at IG, said last week: '"Tariffs" got three mentions in its update, but with new levies announced overnight they are likely to weigh on performance in the months to come.' Coatsworth said: 'Appetite has weakened for travel in and out of the US due to political tensions and tariff uncertainty, which presents near-term headwinds for British Airways. 'Planes are expensive, and profit can evaporate if cabins are half-full.' He added: 'Consumers are not making bookings until the last minute, which raises the risk of airlines fighting on price to ensure they get bums on seats.' Analysts overwhelmingly hold buy or strong buy recommendations for IAG, according to Stockopedia Should you buy IAG? The consensus is that IAG is one of the stronger players in the sector. Chiekrie said: 'Demand has been holding up well across the sector, and the outlook for air travel is positive. But it's a difficult industry to make money in, so stock-picking is especially important. 'We see IAG as a stand-out name in the space thanks to its strong market position, growth prospects and cheap valuation.' He added: 'Investors appear to be overlooking IAG, given that the airline industry has historically been a difficult place to make money. But IAG is a cut above most of the other network airlines.' Analysts largely hold IAG as a strong buy, with eight of 23 broker ratings analysed by Stockpedia recommending the stock, while a further five rated IAG as a buy. Beauchamp said: 'IAG is another one of those stories this year of staid FTSE 100 companies that have seen huge rebounds in the share price, up 130 per cent over the past year in this case. And like so many recently, the numbers appear good enough to justify the surge.' However, he added: 'a look at the chart shows that, once the shares cross 400p, the going gets much tougher.' With shares on the cusp of hitting 380p, IAG isn't far off this milestone. It remains to be seen if it can sustain a share price north of 400p. Yet this valuation still looks cheap, Chiekrie maintains. He said: 'Performance at British Airways is impressive, and the group has exposure to the booming Madrid-Latin America route through its second-largest airline, Iberia. 'A strong balance sheet and generous cash returns for shareholders make the current valuation look far too cheap, compared to both the long-run average and its peers.' Etoro's Akoner echoes this. She said: 'We think that investors are not fully pricing in the earnings potential from margin expansion and fleet upgrades. 'The industry is entering a steadier phase, less about rebound. Carriers with strong networks and financial flexibility are best placed to benefit.' 'While overall growth may be slower, the business model is more focused and capital-efficient than pre-Covid. Cost control is tighter, debt is down, and exposure to premium routes is paying off.' She added: 'The discount to pre-pandemic levels leaves room for a re-rating if execution holds and travel demand stays steady.'

Six of the best ferry crossings in the UK – from the Isles of Scilly to the Outer Hebrides
The hills of the Scottish Highlands were still in sight when the cry went up: 'Whale!' And there it was, a humpback on the port side of the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry, blasting a great cloud of mist from its blowhole, then with a farewell flick of its tail, disappearing into the Atlantic. On other voyages you may see glorious sunsets, rare migratory birds, ruined castles and historic lighthouses. Unlike the classic road trip or the great railway journey, however, the humble ferry rarely makes it to anyone's bucket list. They are a means to an end, only chosen by necessity. And yet, the UK has some of the best and most exhilarating voyages within its borders. From exciting river crossings to island odysseys that test the mettle of the best sea captains, these boat journeys can be the high point of any trip. Starting from Penzance's South Pier, in sight of St Michael's Mount, the crossing to St Mary's is the indispensable highlight of any trip to the Isles of Scilly. The gas-guzzling, climate-clobbering helicopter doesn't even approach the magic of this ship and its three-hour voyage into the Atlantic Ocean. Penzance bursts with nautical heritage; many of its remarkable number of pubs have existed since the days of Captain Kidd and Francis Drake. Once aboard the Scillonian (built in Appledore, Devon, in 1977), find a position with a view to the starboard to glimpse Land's End on departure, then keep a lookout for wildlife. Dolphins and whales are sighted regularly on the voyage. Birdlife includes gannets, Manx shearwaters and puffins. Watch out for bird feeding frenzies, which may attract the attention of bluefin tuna (the half-ton fish can leap clear of the water and numbers are rising fast). Other potential highlights include fin whales, the planet's second largest animal after the blue whale – with several sightings in 2024. A day return on the Scillonian III is £35. Woodstock Ark, a secluded cabin near Penzance South Pier, sleeps two, from £133 a night. Star Castle Hotel, close to the Scillonian's arrival point on St Mary's, has great food and superb views; doubles with dinner from £245. Dartmouth has a huge heritage of sailing and boats, and the lower ferry across the mouth of the River Dart is an absolute classic. The best approach is on the steam railway from Paignton, which brings you into what was once the Great Western Railway's imposing Kingswear station on the east bank of the river. Alternatively, you could walk to Kingswear on the South West Coast Path from Brixham (a 10-mile yomp). There has been a ferry here since the 14th century and the latest incarnation is a barge with room for eight cars towed by a tugboat. The crossing is short but memorable, the flanks of the steeply wooded valley looming over a fast-moving tidal river that froths around the barge as it picks its way through a busy shipping lane. Landing is right in town, next to the blue plaque for John Davis, one of the great sea dogs of Devon, who searched for the Northwest Passage and died at the hands of pirates near Singapore in 1605. If the crossing has whetted the appetite, walk upriver along the historic waterfront to the Upper Dart ferry, another interesting boat. Originally a floating platform linked to cross-river chains that were pulled by horses, today it's a diesel-electric paddle engine combined with cables that can manage about 18 cars. The Lower Dart Ferry costs £5 return for a foot passenger; car and passengers £14 return. Ferryside apartment next to the ferry in Kingswear sleeps four, from £533 for three nights. Further away, Dartington Hall, once Britain's leading progressive school, is now a top arts centre, offering wonderful gardens and accommodation, with doubles from £103 B&B. Scotland is blessed with many memorable ferry routes, but none surpasses the short voyage from Berneray to Leverburgh on Harris. A hop of just nine nautical miles and taking an hour, it crosses the shallow Sound of Harris, which is strewn with deadly rocks, dangerous tidal currents and frequent mists. Before GPS, it was a rule that the captain would turn back if he couldn't see two buoys ahead, and occasionally the ship would slither on to a sandbank and have to stay there until the tide lifted her off. These days it remains an exhilarating passage, weaving between dozens of jagged hazards with evocative names such as Drowning Rock and the Black Curran. Listen for the ghostly cries of seals on the larger islets, and look out for a majestic white-tailed sea eagle. The Caledonian MacBrayne ferry costs £4.70 one way for a foot passenger. Camping at Balranald on North Uist is highly recommended (tent £14), or try 30 Backhill, a restored thatched stone croft on Berneray, from £535 a week. As a shortcut at the end of the Suffolk coastal path, the ferry from Landguard Fort near Felixstowe to Harwich offers great panoramas of the harbour formed by the rivers Orwell and Stour. You're likely to spot some of the planet's largest container ships and a Thames barge. Alternatively, embark at Shotley Gate, the tip of the narrow and beautiful Shotley peninsula that separates the two rivers – the walk down the Orwell from Ipswich is particularly picturesque, taking in Pin Mill. Harwich old town is also well worth exploring, with some beautiful period buildings including the Electric Cinema, opened in 1911. The Harwich Harbour Ferry connects Felixstowe and Harwich (tickets £6 one way), and Harwich and Shotley (£4.80); it runs from April to October. The Alma Inn is a gorgeous Grade II-listed pub in old Harwich, with doubles from £90 B&B.

Despite some deplorable environmental mismanagement upstream, the river here remains a beautiful sight. On the far bank, take the lane north to another good pub, Ye Old Ferrie Inn. Their ferry drops you on a footpath that heads up through the woods for the fine views along the curving river from the Symonds Yat rock itself. These crags were visited in 1770, by schoolmaster William Gilpin, who had an eye for untamed landscapes, triggering a revolution in the appreciation of views and nature that we still benefit from today. Alternatively, walk downriver and cross at the beautiful Biblins suspension Symonds Yat ferries cost £2 for adults. The Saracens Head occupies a lovely riverside location, with doubles from £135, B&B. You may, of course, choose to take the bridge to Skye, but for a real Hebridean treat take the original ferry across the 500-metre-wide Kyle Rhea straits. This is the last manually operated turntable ferry in the world (built in Troon in 1969), carrying just six cars and 12 people on a five-minute voyage. Due to strong tidal currents running at up to nine knots and frequently windy conditions, the designers came up with the ingenious solution of a turntable to allow vehicles to disembark safely. Saved by a local campaign in 2006, it has now become a vital part of the Skye experience. The Isle of Skye ferry from Glenelg costs £3 for foot passengers, and £20 for a car (with up to four passengers) one way. Sykes Cottages has a number of properties on Skye, including Beaton's traditional thatched croft, from £457 a week.
