Business description

The island of Stronsay is situated in amongst the Orkney isles off the north coast of Scotland. Stronsay is around 13 square miles and has a resident population in the region of 350 people.

However, due to ill health the business has now been reluctantly placed on the market.

This is a fantastic opportunity for those looking to get away from the noise and bustle of a city to a completely difference lifestyle and be part of an island community.
