Attention, history buffs: A private island in Loch Lomond on which the father of Scottish independence quite literally put down roots has just hit the market for $1.2 million. Spanning 180 acres, Inchlonaig Island features an ancient woodland that was originally sprouted by the King of Scots.

For the unacquainted, Loch Lomond is a lake in southern Scotland that is part of the greater Loch Lomond area and...

This sweet, sweet fantasy house has sold — albeit for significantly under its asking price, and for some $1.35 million less than what its A-list owner bought it for in 2021.

In February 2020, I officially got the keys to my new home: a two-bedroom, 796-square-foot Victorian house that I bought for £1. I purchased it as part of a “homes for a pound” program created to revive the Webster Triangle, a small run-down area in Liverpool. But there was a catch: the home was in complete disrepair. To qualify, I had to be a first-time homeowner and be able to fix it up within a 12-month period. The council estimated that the renovations would cost $61,400. When I applied for the program in 2015, I was a 28-year-old graduate student without much in the way of savings. I didn’t have all the funds I needed, but I submitted my application...
