While couples often move outside of the city centre when their children leave home, or they seek employment elsewhere to settle down, not many will whisk themselves off to a private island.
An opportunity has now arisen for someone to purchase their own private island, complete with a huge six-bedroom 17th century castle. Well away from the hustle and bustle of the city, or indeed any type of settlement, and with the sea for company, it could be the perfect retreat to put your feet up.
As well as the impressive historic castle, this island just off Shetland, comes with a farmhouse, cottage and almost 800 acres of land for endless planning opportunities. As reported by the Record, the tiny Isle of Vaila is now for sale for offers over £1.75million.
