The island of Inchconnachan situated on Loch Lomond, Scotland, whilst not the home of James Bond is very close to a Sky Fall lifestyle. The 42 hectare property which has been owned by the Colquhoun family for more than seven hundred years is for sale for overs over 500,000 pounds. The island is located around 40 km from Glasgow airport and a stone’s throw from the award winning Loch Lomond distillery.
The island of Inchconnachan boasts ancient oak and birch, Scots pine, Douglas firs and Larch
Besides a ruined 1920s cottage and outhouses the island is host to the red-necked species of wallaby, brought there by Lady Arran Colquhoun in the 1940s. The island is also home to otters, roe and sika deer. Its woods boast ancient oak and birch, Scots pine, Douglas firs and Larch.
Protected under UK and international law, it is also one of the few places the rare turkey like giant Grouse of the high tree tops known as the capercaillie can be spotted. Ospreys occasionally nest there, too.
Perfect for isolation, there is no passenger boat available to travel to the island so its kayak or hire your own speedboat. You could always book a speedboat tour from Luss on the eastern shore or Rowardennan farther up on the western shore.
The Narrows, a waterway between the site and Inchtavannach island is a must visit for those boating on the loch.
