The ultimate Scottish escape is now available to buy - an entire island with four-bedroom house.
As well as the four-bedroom property, Port House, private ferry and stunning beaches, the island has many tales of secretive smugglers and violent Vikings, and is on the market for £1,400,000 with Strutt and Parker.
The island sale includes a four-bedroom house, which is located a short boat ride away.
Beside the house and overlooking the concrete slipway, is a garage/boat shed/workshop.
Inchmarnock was originally home to St Marnoc, who settled on the island and built a chapel, which has been reduced to ruins.
Inchmarnock is rumoured to have been popular with smugglers, with its woodland and craggy shoreline an ideal hiding place for contraband.
The eighth century saw the island fall prey to Viking raids.
A farmer discovered the remains of a local Bronze Age woman, the Queen of the Inch, in the 1960s.

The four-bedroom home comes as part of the sale and is located on the neighbouring isle of Bute, a 1.2-mile journey aboard the buyers own private ferry.
