Description

The Island of Soay is located in one the most dramatic settings in the western highlands, located in the middle of Loch Scavaig. Lying in the shadow of the iconic Black Cuillin mountains of Skye to the north, the Island also enjoys panoramic views to the mountains of Knoydart and Ardnamurchan in the east. The other inner Hebridean islands of Eigg, Much, Rhum and Canna
also provide an interesting sea scape to the west.

South Soay comprises approximately 1,546.91 acres (626.01 Ha) of owner-occupied croft land together with a former dwelling house, the site of which has been de-crofted. The Land is an interesting mixture of pasture and rough grazing land and woodlands together with around
8 named hill lochs, the largest being Loch Doir' a' Chreamha, the land is relatively low lying
with the highest point being the summit of Cnoc na Moil Deirge at around 100 metres above sea level.

The land provides an interesting habitat and topography and offers an excellent opportunity for a
purchaser to explore environmental and woodland schemes and to enjoy the natural capital of the land and surroundings. There is also a population of red deer on Soay which offers some stalking for sport and management purpose. The property provides a fantastic base for sailing enthusiasts, the north eastern boundary being a renowned extremely sheltered natural harbour. The main bay on South Soay is Camus nan Gall which faces southeast and is also a sheltered anchorage.

The residential property, which is de-crofted, lies on the shore of Camus nan Gall, where there are various other properties owned by third parties. The house, which is in need of complete upgrading and modernisation, is of traditional 1½ storey stone and slate construction. The accommodation set out with 2 public rooms on the ground floor and 2 bedrooms and bathroom
on the first floor. There is a former meeting place/hall constructed onto the southern gable.

Crofting
The majority of the property is designated as owner occupied croft. Further information on crofting
tenure is available from the joint selling agents.
