A remote Scottish island with a population of precisely zero is seeking a new manager – and most of your company will be the local wildlife.
The Scottish Wildlife Trust is looking for a new ranger on the island of Handa – which, alongside housing one of the most significant seabird breeding colonies in Europe, is both a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Special Protection Area (SPA).
Found just off the west coast of Sutherland, the island is accessible via a pedestrian ferry from Tarbet – and there are dramatic sea views and endless peace and quiet, besides the friendly sound of the chirping wildlife.
My first thought reading the headline was, “that sounds amazing, but I can’t afford 25k a year” 🤣
