And finally…Scottish island yours for £5m

A Scottish island that inspired a poem by Sir Walter Scott’s has been put up for sale at a cost of £5m.

Ulva, which sits between two peninsulas near Mull, has no tarmac roads, is accessible only by a ferry and has no pubs or restaurants and has fewer than 20 inhabitants.

However, the island, which cover about 4,500 acres, has attracted well-known names over the years, including explorer David Livingstone and children’s author Beatrix Potter and was the inspiration for Scott’s The Lord Of The Isles.

And your £5 million would also get you a huge seven bedroom house and 10 other properties.

Livingston is said to have frequented the island to visit his grandparents, who lived there.

Potter’s cousin Caroline married the Laird of Ulva, and the Tale Of Mr Tod, written in 1912, is dedicated to Caroline’s son, Francis William, with a message in the book reading: “For Francis William or Ulva – someday!” Potter is said to have visited herself in 1943.

Ulva is being marketed by estate agents Knight Frank, after it was inherited by the children of Jean Howard, who died in 2014.

Mrs Howard inherited Ulva in the 1970s from her mother, Edith, Lady Congleton, granddaughter of Lord Strathcona.

She had bought it for just £10,000 after the Second World War with money from a fortune amassed by her grandfather, who had worked on the Pacific Railway in Canada.

Ulva was gifted to Mrs Howard’s son and daughter shortly after her death but they have now decided to sell the island.
