Description

The croft at 2 Gillean represents a rare opportunity to acquire the assignation of a croft tenancy in the south of Skye extending to approximately 2.643 hectares in total. The croft assignation is in two parts which span either side of the township road.
As this is a croft assignation, anyone wishing to take over the croft tenancy would require the approval of the Crofting Commission. There is also 1 share in the Gillean Common Grazings.

The croft has previously benefitted from outline planning consent but a detailed planning application has recently been submitted for a modern contemporary three bedroom property under application number 24/00889/FUL granted on 13 March 2025. Details can be made available on request or viewed on the planning portal via using planning reference.

It will be the responsibility of the purchaser to arrange for the connection and supply of all services to the potential site including the installation of a septic tank/treatment system.

Interested parties are advised to consult a solicitor specialising in Crofting Law.
