An entire private island in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides, said to have sheltered Bonnie Prince Charlie after the Battle of Culloden, has gone on the market. The asking price reported by outlets is around £1 million.
The listings describe the Isle of Wiay as located off the east coast of Benbecula in the Outer Hebrides and covering roughly 970 acres. Multiple sources frame the sale around the island’s association with the “Young Pretender,” emphasizing its historical links to the aftermath of Culloden. While the outlets vary in phrasing and focus—some highlighting the price most prominently, others stressing the island’s location and size—they broadly agree on the island being offered for private sale and on the long-standing claim of Charlie’s connection to it. The reports do not provide further detail on the property’s specific amenities or development plans, focusing mainly on the sale and historical background.
