My trip to the uninhabited Scottish island of yours for £500,000! JANE FRYER visits a breathtaking place, if you're brave enough to get there...

There's something splendid about standing atop Mullagrach's rugged, lichen-filled 89-acre kingdom; tasting the salt on my lips from the sea spray, watching the cormorants swirl, listening to the larks sing and knowing that there is nothing but water between me and the North Pole.

Oh, how wonderful it must be to be rich. Because this beautiful place – a small island, made up of cliffs and coves, rocks, cormorants and flowering sedums, and perched just at the northern tip of Scotland's Summer Isles – is for sale. And it could be mine, or yours, for half a million pounds.

Plus a little extra for a sturdy boat to make the crossing from 35 minutes from Dorney Old Harbor on the mainland. And another £395,000, if I fancied picking up Mullagrach House on the mainland, to have somewhere comfortable and cozy to wait, and wait, and maybe wait a little longer, until the sea was calm enough to cross to my own island. .

This glorious place is for sale and it could be mine, or yours, for half a million pounds, writes Jane Fryer (pictured) We waited almost three weeks while our lovely boatman Steve Husband (pictured) checked his trusty weather forecast app on his phone, updating us every few days, writes Jane Fryer
