The Isle of Rum Community Trust is taking steps to attract new residents to the island and has put the Tattie House, a property requiring extensive renovation, on the market for offers over £40,000. The property comes with around a quarter acre of garden ground and splendid views out across Loch Scresort.

Proceeds of this sale are earmarked for the development of a new shop and tearoom on the island. IRCT also have three newly created bare land crofts available to let and are inviting applications from prospective tenants. Applicants will need to supply a croft development and business plan relevant to working a croft on Rum and how they intend to support themselves on Rum. Further details of both these opportunities can be found on http://www.isleofrum.com/.
