If you are looking for an opportunity to move to one of Scotland's beautiful islands, now could be the perfect chance.
And even more so if running a cafe is something you'd like to do away from the busy city life as a job on the remote Scottish island of Barra is currently being advertised.
The café, which you could soon be working at, will open later this summer and is located in Barra Airport in the Outer Hebrides with the airport itself being globally renowned for its sandy beach runway.

According to the Scottish Government-owned Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL), the picturesque airport has a unique opportunity for a team to run its newly refurbished cafe catering operation.
It is currently undergoing a £1.5 million refurbishment of the airport terminal and facilities and part of the new development is the opportunity to take over the successful Café Catering Concession, which is now looking to get back to full operation.
It is said that the new terminal facilities will provide opportunities for increased footfall with seating overlooking the stunning beaches and views of aircrafts taking off and landing.
HIAL explain: "It is anticipated that the Café opening times will be tailored around the terminal opening and scheduled services, however HIAL are open to suggested proposals for the Café operation."
They add that the deadline for the job is Friday, June 7 "for interested parties to express an interest and quote for the opportunity to operate the new café, which is expected to cater for 50 people, and they are looking for the development to be open for business in August. The e-mail address for ITQ (Invitation to Quote) pack requests, queries and submission of Quotes is: realestate@hial.co.uk."
It continues: "The Concessionaire will benefit from being the sole Catering and Retail Concessionaire at the Airport and HIAL will promote the Concessionaire’s services at appropriate opportunities, including on HIAL websites and through social media."
Barra Airport Manager, Michael Galbraith, said: “Barra Airport handled nearly 11,000 passengers in 2022/23 and we believe there is considerable scope to generate income from café services for locals and passing tourist trade as well as tourists stopping to watch aircraft landing on our famous beach runway.”
“The airport is very popular due to our unique beach setting and the world-wide interest this has for visitors, whether or not they are flying in or out. Our successful Café Catering Concession operated for many years before Covid struck and we are keen to get back to offering a quality, café style operation of hot and cold drinks, snacks, and food.”
