An Orkney cottage with a "sea view" is currently on the market for £70,000, a lower price than a one-bedroom Edinburgh flat.
The property is on North Ronaldsay, which is the northernmost island in the archipelago. The island has a primary school and bird observatory and is linked to the Orkney mainland by a scheduled air service and ferry.
The population of North Ronaldsay was recorded as 72 in 2011, meaning it could be perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the capital.

Cheap Scottish Houses, which scouted the property, said: "This one bedroom island cottage is in lovely condition. It’s nice and bright and I love how white the inside is.
"It just shows how white paint can make such a difference! It sits on half of an acre but there’s a separate parcel of land (3.2acres) that can be bought with a guide price of 12k.
"The property also includes traditional outbuildings and a garage with an inspection pit which might suit a car enthusiast. And to finish it off there’s even a sea view!"
The listing states: "Parkhouse is a one bedroom detached cottage enjoying a beautiful view across farmland with the sea in the distance.
"The property extends to 2150m² or thereby and includes a garage, traditional outbuildings and a large garden. An adjoining field, extending to 1.3ha (3.2 acres) is available by separation negotiation."
Looking at the inside of the property, it consists of an entrance hall, a kitchen with fitted base and wall cupboards, a bathroom with three-piece suite, and another hall that leads through to the sitting room.
The living room comes with an oil fired Rayburn range, a storage/convector heater, and an airing cupboard. Meanwhile, the bedroom has a panel heater, a fire place, and a built-in shelved cupboard.
There is also a store, a garage, and a former byre.
