Own a Dream Island in Scotland

Written by HeBe

Have you ever dreamed about owning your very own island? Well you don't need to be Richard Branson to make your dream come true thanks to the Friends of Sgarabhaigh. Sgarabhaigh (pronounced Scaravay) is located in the Sound of Harris in the Western Isles of Scotland and it lies at the heart of some the most beautiful and unspoilt environments in the world. It is a land rich in a history that is made all the more entrancing by copious measures of myth and legend. Visit, walk and film the island and all it has to offer. The crystal clear waters that surround the island hold an array of sea life including dolphins, whales and a resident colony of seals that will often greet you when you arrive. A host of sea birds visit the island to rest feed and nest on its gentle green slopes or its weather sculpted rocks.

A sustainable project has been setup that allows people who have a love of Scotland to contribute and help protect this magical island so it can continue to be enjoyed by future generations. You can purchase a contract package to share ownership of the island with an island passport and document conferring island rights. So buy your own piece of Scottish heritage; join the island family that is 'Friends of Sgarabhaigh' and impress your friends by becoming an Associate Owner of the island of Sgarabhaigh.

If you don't fancy that, you can purchase a wonderful silver sixpence - the first piece of currency for the island and whilst not being legal tender it has been based on coin of the realm from the reign of James 1st of England and 6 th of Scotland back in 1603. It has been struck in 'fine silver' which is 99.99% pure and incorporates in its design both historic links and key features of the project that is Friends of Sgarabhaigh. It makes a lovely silver wedding gift (something new for brides) or a unique coin for the collector.
