The uninhabited isle of Copinsay, in the Orkney islands, could be your next home for just £80,000.
The lighthouse keeper buildings here are up for sale offering a "renovation opportunity of a lifetime".
Alongside the two-storey main building featuring seven bedrooms, the listing features three outbuildings.

First switched on in 1915, Copinsay lighthouse is owned by the Northern lighthouse board and controlled remotely.
It offers potential buyers the romance of the lighthouse keeper lifestyle, but without the hard work.

The property's water supply comes from a privately restored well with generator-operated electric pump, electricity provided by storage batteries and Calor gas heating.
Copinsay lighthouse is operated remotely from Northern lighthouse board's headquarters in Edinburgh.
K Allan Properties said: "This rare opportunity to own a piece of the Orkney Islands is a blank canvas awaiting your vision.
