A 260-acre island sitting just 350 yards from the coast of west Scotland, has gone on the market for a mere £3Million!

As well as the four-bedroom house, the island off Loch Craignish comes with a helicopter pad, a boat house, and an observatory for gazing at the Northern Lights.

While King's Island may be the ideal hideaway for a James Bond villain, its abundance of wildlife makes it a perfect purchase for a nature lover. It is frequently visited by a population of deer that swim over from the mainland and the sheltered waters also attract dolphins, otters, sea eagles and ospreys. There is an endless supply of salmon and lobsters that the new owner can exclusively fish for.

The island is currently owned by top City trader Christian Siva-Jothy, a former partner in Goldman Sachs, who has modernised the main house. Previous owners have included Sir Reginald Johnston, a retired tutor to Puyi, the last Chinese emperor, in the 1930s and then a retired Indian army officer.

Ran Morgan, from the estate agents, said: 'The island is stunningly beautiful and surrounded by the most extraordinary land and seascapes.
