Access to the private island is via boat, or foot or tractor at low tide.

There is also a pebble beach where a boat can be anchored or beached.

It is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, with perennial flax, rock sea lavender and fragrant orchid plants. There are no buildings and little chance of planning permission.

Scotland’s Fleet Bay, near Kirkcudbright in Dumfries and Galloway, is also home to some large seabird colonies. Recreational activities can be enjoyed from bird spotting to island walks, sea angling and additional watersports from the island's very own private pebble beach.

Estate agent Aaron Edgar, of Galbraith, said: "Barlocco Island is in a truly stunning location near Kirkcudbright in Dumfries and Galloway and within an area of scientific interest both geologically and biologically.

"There's still a very romantic sentiment attached to owning your very own Scottish private island, where you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy some peace and tranquillity in the most beautiful scenery around.

"The pebble beach is a delight and the perfect base to explore the island, partake in some cold water swimming or to anchor a boat and enjoy a waterside picnic. “We expect a lot of interest.”
