Own Your Own Island, Untouched Scottish Island In Loch Lomond is For Sale

In the West Dunbartonshire area of Scotland sits Loch Lomond, one of Scotland’s largest lakes in which over twenty islands can be found. One of those islands, Torrinch Island, in the southern area of the loch, is for sale.

The eighteen acre island, which has never been inhabited, is going for $250,000 a reasonable price for your own island. The only catch is – there are no improvements and you can’t build anything on it.

The island is part of the Scottish National Nature Reserve and has been declared a “Site of Special Scientific Interest” by the Scottish Natural Heritage under the Scotland Nature Conservation Act of 2004.

Torrinch Island is completely wooded with aspen, alder, oak, and fir trees and has a small beach. There is no dock or mooring place, so one must approach the island in a small boat.

The closest islands are Creinch and Inchcailloch. Supplies can be obtained from Balmaha as well as hotels, inns, and bed and breakfast accommodations.

A ferry service connects Balmaha and Inchcailloch Island, and Torrinch Island is just a short boat ride away.

The towns of Helensburgh and Alexandria are within twenty-five miles and also provide services and a wider range of supplies.

Edinburgh is sixty-five miles away; Glasgow is twenty-one miles to the southeast, and the Glasgow Airport is within an hour’s drive.

Galbraith, a property consultancy firm in the United Kingdom with over fourteen offices, is handling the sale out of their Stirling offices.

They tout the Loch as a recreational haven with kayaking, canoeing, and windsurfing as well as fishing for sea trout, brown trout, and salmon.

Both trawled and fly fishing are permitted. The Loch Lomond Sailing Club is located at the north end of the loch, and they put on competitions each year.

Hiking, rock climbing, bird watching, and bicycling are possible all on the privacy of your own island.
