Family selling 'idyllic' island with ruined castle after 80 years
SHUNA ISLAND, SCOTLAND, JUN 22 – Shuna Island features a ruined 20th-century castle, six holiday homes, and sustainable energy infrastructure, with Sotheby's calling it a rare heritage offering at £5.5 million.
- Shuna Island, a 1,110-acre private Scottish island with a ruined 20th-century castle and eight residential properties, has gone on sale for £5.5 million.
- The Gully family has owned and managed Shuna since 1945, maintaining its working farm, holiday homes, and country sports like deer stalking, with recent decisions prompted by management changes.
- The island features archaeological sites including Stone Age burial mounds and a rare sword discovery in 1875, plus a private pier, helipad, renewable energy system, and accommodates up to 52 people.
- Owner Jim Gully described the sale as "a huge part for all of our lives" ending, expressing it is "sad" but also a relief since his father visited the island several times weekly.
- Estate agents Sotheby's International Realty and Knight Frank promote the sale as a rare opportunity ideal for boutique hospitality, retreats, or a regenerative tourism venture off the beaten path.
