An idyllic and remote house on one of Scotland's most beautiful islands where the Beatles used to stay has just gone on sale. The coastal property, known as Lochbay House, lies on the northwest coast of Skye and offers stunning panoramic views out to the islands of Isay and Mingay, and the distant mountains of North Uist.
Located on the shores of Loch Bay, a sea loch on the Waternish peninsula, the house is where the likes of George Harrison and his bandmates used to stay on their visits to the island, thanks to their friendship with Scottish musician and songwriter Donovan who at one time owned Lochbay House.
The stunning four-bedroom house is on the market for offers over £600,000. A spokesperson for estate agents Galbraith said: "The current owners purchased Lochbay House in 2016 and have fully renovated the house to an exceptional standard to create very comfortable and beautifully presented accommodation.

"The open plan sitting room and dining room is the focal point of the house, its understated interior allowing the landscape to take centre stage. The kitchen and bathrooms are well appointed and there are bedrooms on both the ground and first floors."
The house is located within the Stein village conservation area and is just a short walk along the shoreline from the 18th Century, Thomas Telford designed village with its popular inn and Michelin-starred Lochbay Restaurant.
The estate agents added: "In this peaceful and unspoilt setting, there are regular sightings of native wildlife, while boats can be launched from the lochside to explore the coastline and islands."
