Islanders on Foula, one of the UK’s most remote inhabited islands, are looking for a new headteacher to run their tiny primary school, with a register of just four pupils and another child in its nursery.
Foula, an island of 4.9 sq miles with a permanent population of 28 people, lies 16 miles to the west of Shetland and vies with Fair Isle, which is 44 miles to the south, as the most isolated and exposed inhabited place in Britain.
