People have been offered the chance to swap the hubbub of city life for a beautiful Scottish island - with a £50,000 carrot dangled to move.
The Scottish Government is offering the money to families and young people willing to move in a bid to reduce depopulation on the likes of Orkney and the Isle of Skye.
The £50,000 will be offered to 100 people until 2026 with a number of applications already received from as far away as South America.
