Lonely Scottish island set for new inhabitants

http://www.scotsman.com/news/scotland/top-stories/lonely-scottish-island-set-for-new-inhabitants-1-3604320

A STUNNING island in the extreme north of Scotland is set to be inhabited for the first time in more than 80 years....

And the £250,000 price tag includes permission to create an eco tourism business on Linga, which has been uninhabited since the last resident died in 1931.

The 64-acre island presently has no power, water supply or internet.

But whoever buys Linga will get permission to install wind-generated power, build a pier and restore two derelict croft houses as holiday homes.

How are they set for bacchanals, pagan idolatry and baudy ditties?
