Inside the UK island with beaches just like the Caribbean - and you can live there

'A great wee homey pub' is up for sale on an idyllic island in the Scottish Outer Hebrides, compared to the South Pacific due to its stunning white sand beaches.

The Cross Inn on the beautiful Isle of Lewis which has been described as a ‘Caribbean beach without the crowds' is in the Hebrides, also known as the 'long islands' as they stretch for a hundred miles.

Lewis, which has both Gaelic and English speakers, is steeped in history and culture ranging back thousands of years, including Viking settlement, and is home to the six-metre tall Trussel stone, the largest standing stone in Scotland.
