Or even the list price of $7.44 million. Castle-equipped Scottish island lists for the first time in 80 years \u2014 and it\u2019s accessible only by boat or helicopter<\/a>:<\/p>\n

An entire private island off Scotland\u2019s rugged west coast \u2014 complete with a ruined castle, a working farm and a cluster of off-grid holiday cottages \u2014 is hitting the market for the first time in nearly 80 years.<\/p>\n

Shuna, a 1,100-acre island in the Inner Hebrides, is being offered for about $7.44 million, marking the end of an era for a family that has stewarded it since World War II.<\/p>\n

The Gully family has owned the island since 1945, when Viscountess Selby, reeling from the war\u2019s aftermath, walked into a London estate agency and inquired \u2014 somewhat famously \u2014 if they had \u201cany islands on the books.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, it’s over there<\/em>, so it would cost a lot for everything even before the cost of having it supplied by boat comes into play, and you aren’t allowed legally<\/em> to have what you need to defend it.<\/p>\n

But it looks like it would be an interesting purchase nevertheless, especially with several rental cottages on the island to let.<\/p>\n

Ah, but I am reaching the point in my career that I’m starting to doubt whether I will become wealthy from working for a startup especially since I am not chasing the AI bandwagon.<\/p>\n

Of course, I thought the Internet would not be big either, so take my counsel for what you paid for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
