Tiny Scots island with just two occupants is looking to double its population

dailyrecord.co.uk:

A tiny island off the coast the Skye is looking to double its population. The Isle of Rona in the Inner Hebrides is wild and remote and would be the perfect place to escape the rigours of city living for someone.Currently, the island, which has only 3.6 sq miles of land, has just two permanent inhabitants and four cottages - three of which are available as holiday homes.Lying in the Sound of Raasay, it can be found north of the Isle of Raasay off the east coast of Skye.

The tiny community are now advertising for a live-in couple to move to the island as estate workers. A house is provided overlooking the harbour, and applicants must be up for living in a 'wild and remote' spot.Work would include maintenance of off-grid power and water, paths, woodland and infrastructure.Other tasks would include vehicle maintenance housekeeping and laundry for two-holiday cottages.Red deer stalking and venison processing would also be on the cards, as well as selling produce and welcoming visitors.
