Located in the Shetland Islands, North of Scotland, the Isle of Linga has an unusual beauty, keeping almost all the natural characteristics anti-civilização: no water supply or electricity, just some holiday homes in ruins.

According to the British press, the island has just been put up for sale by Bob Thomson, who asks € 315,000 ($ 1 million) for her and hopes that its new owner can make Lanyard a haven of ecotourism.

"Owning an island in Shetland is the best feeling ever and it's always sad to have to sell, especially because my development plan received strong support of local communities," explained Thomson to the Daily Mail.

The island has 26 hectares and permission to build wind turbines, a pontoon for a maritime access and restore two houses in ruins as holiday homes. If it goes through, will be the first time in 80 years that someone lives in Linga â€" the last known person to do so was Captain James Fraser, who died in 1931.

Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the island is surrounded by azure waters and is small enough to be covered in half an hour â€" in fact, it's closest to the Norway that of Scotland, according to the Daily Mail.

Although remain untouched a generation ago, the island has a rich past, having been found evidence of prehistoric communities that inhabited for several thousands of years.
