dailyrecord.co.uk:

Scots city-slickers or those itching for more peace and quiet in their lives may have entertained thoughts of upping sticks and moving to a more isolated part of the country.Social media, rising urban populations, and the ever-present stresses of daily life may have us dreaming about ditching our phones or just shunning the status quo for a more sedentary life.

If that is you, then good news, as a job opportunity has arisen to monitor wildlife on an off-grid Scottish island "paradise", offering a salary of £32k.

NatureScot, the nature agency of the Scottish Government, is on the hunt for a seasonal officer for Noss, a small, previously inhabited island in the Shetland Isles.The entire island serves as a nature reserve and hosts an internationally significant seabird colony, including gannets, razorbills, puffins and guillemots.

The location is also recognised for its population of great skua, a globally rare bird species known as "bonxies" in Shetland.This term originates from an old Norse word meaning "dumpy", likely referring to the bird's robust build.
