A remote Scottish island with a population of precisely zero is seeking a new manager – and most of your company will be the local wildlife.
The Scottish Wildlife Trust is looking for a new ranger on the island of Handa – which, alongside housing one of the most significant seabird breeding colonies in Europe, is both a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Special Protection Area (SPA).
Found just off the west coast of Sutherland, the island is accessible via a pedestrian ferry from Tarbet – and there are dramatic sea views and endless peace and quiet, besides the friendly sound of the chirping wildlife.
not all peace and quiet… looks like some 8000 day visitors a season you’d be dealing with, plus other charity workers and volunteers. more details is on their job postings linked from their web site
Wait they will pay you?!
My first thought reading the headline was, “that sounds amazing, but I can’t afford 25k a year” 🤣
Yeah, but does it have wifi?
