And finally…prison cell sized Scottish beach huts selling for £25,000

Beach huts on the Moray Firth with dimensions smaller than a prison cell are currently selling for £25,000, it has emerged.

The exclusive new-build development at Findhorn of just 30 timber huts have no windows, running water or electricity and measure just 2 metres by 2.5 metres.

The five square metres boasted by the huts compares unfavourably, however, to the minimum size for a Scottish prison cell of seven square metres, excluding toilet cubicle.

Seven of the first 10 £25,000 shelters at Findhorn have already been sold by CCL Property to locals looking to find an escape from the sea breeze and watch seals playing nearby.

Developer Ian Sutherland McCook from 1 Architects revealed he was regularly fielding inquiries from would-be purchasers.

He said: “I’ve just had two phone calls today from people who had seen them down at the beach and wanted to know how to get one.

“Activity on the site will only increase that. There’s always more interest in projects when there is work underway.”
