Make your escape: 100-year-old cottage on tiny Scottish island comes with garden studio and cowshed ready for conversion

This little hideaway is on Tiree, the most westerly island of the Inner Hebrides.

The 100-year old whitewashed cottage, 200 yards from a white shell and sand beach, is the only stone-built croft in Balevullin, the island’s tiny township.

On the market for £390,000, it has a log burner in the living room and three cosy bedrooms under the eaves.

An attached cowshed is prime for conversion into holiday let space with views to the shore, and there’s a garden studio where you could work.

Tiree plays host to a classical music festival and a vibrant Gaelic song festival during the year.

The nearest ferry port is at Scarinish, seven miles away.
