'Rare offering': Entire Scottish island with ruined castle goes on sale for £5.5m
Shuna Island spans approximately 1,110 acres and is on sale for the first time after being held by the same family for 80 years.
Estate agents Sotheby's International Realty said the island was a "truly rare offering, rich in heritage, natural wonder and possibility".
The island features the remains of Shuna Castle, an early 20th-century structure with panoramic coastal views, as well as eight residential properties which can house 52 people.
The historic castle also has the potential for redevelopment, subject to planning rules, according to the estate agent.
The island also supports livestock farming and "is teeming with wildlife, from red and fallow deer to eagles and porpoises", it said.
The island's traditions also include country sports and deer stalking, it added.
The island is powered by a renewable energy system with photovoltaic panels, wind turbines, battery storage and back-up generators.
It also has a private pier, slipways for boats and a helipad.

Small waterfront community dethrones Beverly Hills as America's richest ZIP code
A gated Florida community has bumped Beverly Hills as America's priciest neighborhood. Gables Estates, a celebrity-filled gated manor on the south side of Miami, ranked number one in Zillow's monthly home value tracker. The analysis, which combs home tax assessments and real estate transactions, found that the palm tree-lined neighborhood with massive Spanish colonial homes was America's most expensive neighborhood. Currently, it has five homes listed for sale. They're priced from $17.5 million to $54.9 million. There are 179 homes, averaging over 55,000 square feet - or nearly the size of a football field - in the neighborhood. Almost every home is considered beachfront property with private access to Miami's warm ocean waters. Dozens of homes come equipped with ports ready for mega yachts, gargantuan pools, and obsessively manicured lawns. And, after paying the eye-watering cost of the home, owners are expected to pay upwards of $250,000 annually in homeowners' association fees. Meanwhile, Beverly Hills, long considered the zenith of celebrity wealth, fell to number four on the list of high-priced neighborhoods. Home prices have dropped in the star-studded California neighborhood. After the median Beverly Hills home listing price peaked at around $9.5 million in February 2023, sellers have slashed expectations to $6.6 million. Beverly Hills' decline and Gables Estates' rise come as some of America's wealthiest individuals head for tax havens. Florida does not collect income tax. Dozens of executives - including Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Citadel's Ken Griffin, and Palantir's Peter Thiel - have dashed to the Sunshine State. Multiple tech companies are also snapping up office space in Coral Gables, the neighboring city. Apple recently inked a deal to lease office space in the town, while Amazon is currently working to move part of its headquarters to neighboring cities. But even before the tech-funded migration, Gables Estates was home to dozens of A-list celebrities. Richard Fain, Royal Caribbean Cruises' former CEO, has owned a home in the neighborhood since 1989 Meanwhile, the average listing price for a Beverly Hills home has dropped $2.9 million in the past two years, according to Singer Gloria Estefan owns a home in the neighborhood. Former baseball star Alex Rodriguez called it home, too. Richard Fain, Royal Caribbean Cruises' former CEO, also owns property. Chart-topping musicians - including Jay-Z, Pharrell Williams, Shakira, and Jennifer Lopez - have been photographed partying and beaching at the luxe enclave. Gables Estates' rise on the charts is part of a growing trend for Florida. The state is home to seven of the ten most expensive zip codes in the US, the study found. California houses the other three highest-value communities. No other states crack the top ten. Port Royal in Naples, Florida, grabbed the second spot. Old Cutler Bay, located just down the street from Gable Estates, took bronze. The Flats, a section of Beverly Hills, claimed the fifth-place slot.

Increased betting tax would be a hurdle that horse racing may not overcome
The Treasury is currently consulting over plans to replace the existing structure of online gambling duties, which is comprised of three bands, to a catch-all Remote Betting and Gaming Duty. At present, there is a 15 per cent duty, but there are grave concerns that the government-induced changes could see it brought into line with the rate of tax on games of chance, such as online casino and slot machines, which is six per cent higher. Economic analysis commissioned by the British Horseracing Authority showed that the sport could lose £66m in income through the levy, media rights and sponsorship because bookmakers would be likely to respond by offering inferior-value prices and reduce budgets for such things as marketing and advertising. Horse racing is a sport that is part of the very fabric of British culture. Its two codes, Flat and National Hunt have been supported by monarchs and other royals for centuries. It also courted Sir Keir Starmer, who last September became the first serving Prime Minister since Sir Winston Churchill to attend the St Leger. Now, similar to one of the PM's current political allies, it has had a change of heart and is taking a more combative approach. Racing draws in more spectators annually than every other sport in the nation, except football. It provides jobs for more than 85,000 people. If betting tax levied on the sport is raised, it's been estimated that 2,752 of those jobs will be lost in the first year alone, and this could become an ever-decreasing cycle. As a show of strength and to underline the gravity of their concerns, the whole of the industry has committed to a one-day strike on 10 September, when racing is scheduled to take place at Carlisle, Kempton Park, Lingfield Park and Uttoxeter. For an industry that has so often taken a 'softly, softly' approach to such matters and wanted to keep respective governments onside, it's akin to throwing away the painstakingly prepared form book and, instead, tossing a coin. Will the 'heads' count in the sport be forced to reduce or will ministers turn 'tails' and elect to preserve the status quo? James Hutchinson, the managing director at Ripon racecourse, is clear on why the sport is right to take such action: 'It's important that we get across this message that the current proposals for this betting duty tax will have an enormous effect on British racing and the income into British racing and therefore the amount of money that it raises in terms of levy and the return therefore to racecourses and the return of prize money to owners and trainers. 'From our point of view as a small independent racecourse, we need to be seen to be a strong industry that can support all of its constituent parts and this potential change is going to put many of those at risk and that's not something we want to see. 'I'm in support of the action that's being taken because by doing so we will hopefully be getting across and extremely strong message to government that we feel very strongly about this and the industry is prepared to go to those sort of lengths to show what it means and the effect it could have if the changes take place.' 'I don't think there's any other sporting industry that could be as dramatically affected by the sort of change that the government is proposing.' James Hutchinson, managing director at Ripon racecourse Isn't this, however, racing people expecting the sport to be treated as a special case purely because of its history? Hutchinson disagrees. 'I don't think it's necessarily a special case other than the fact that it has huge heritage. It's been an important part of the culture and the colour of the nation. 'Over five million people go racing every year and to introduce this huge increase could have a major negative impact on the industry. It could effect the amount of racing, the amount of people going racing and it would be a huge loss to the country. 'I don't think there's any other sporting industry that could be as dramatically affected by the sort of change that the government is proposing.' Those involved in the sport are clear about the financial damage that could be inflicted and are similarly unified in their action, although all four tracks that miss out on racing on that date have been offered an alternative fixture on the calendar by the BHA, by way of compensation for those individual events. The government must act in the best interests of a sport that has given the nation great service since before there was a Prime Minister. It should get this enquiry overturned before the provisional result stands, scrap any plans to increase its tax burden and leave this piece of the fabric of our society unfrayed.

UK house prices up £9,000 in past year
By Updated: The typical home has risen in value by £9,000 over the past year, according to official figures. The average home is worth £269,079, based on sales data from June, released today by the Office for National Statistics - £100 off the all-time record set in March 2025. It comes after a 1.4 per cent monthly jump in average prices with big swings recorded in the North East and North West. The ONS data is based on sold prices that will have been agreed on property sales in the months prior to June. A more forward looking survey by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors last week painted a weaker picture of the state of the property market. It revealed that more Rics members, comprising estate agents and surveyors, reported house prices falling in their areas in July than those that reported prices rising. Looking ahead, more Rics members see house prices falling over the coming three months than those who think prices will rise. However, over a 12 month timeframe, the majority see prices going higher. The ONS figures, while slightly behind, continue to show that prices are rising the most in more affordable parts of Britain. Average property prices in the North East are up 7.8 per cent in the 12 months to June, rising to £163,679 on average. Prices in Scotland are up 5.9 per cent to £191,927, while prices in the North West of England are up 5 per cent in that time. The average home there is selling for £212,057. In Northern Ireland, prices are also up 5.5 per cent over the last 12 months, reaching £185,108 on average. Meanwhile, prices in London are only up 0.8 per cent year-on-year, with the average home in the capital fetching £561,309. The South East and South West - where average house prices are £383,486 and £301,66o respectively - have also seen below average growth, up 2.8 per cent and 1.5 per cent annually. 'The dizzying pace of growth seen in parts of northern England is a world away from the modest 0.8 per cent rise recorded in London,' said Jonathan Hopper, chief executive of buying agent Garrington Property Finders. 'Prices in the North East are rising nearly 10 times faster than those in the capital, and inflation is brisk in Scotland and Northern Ireland too. 'At least London is back in growth territory. As recently as May, the average price paid for a home in the capital fell by 1.4 per cent in a month as sellers had to cut asking prices or agree to significant discounts in order to get their sale across the line. 'Price rises are modest in much of southern England too, and on the front line we're seeing lots of high-value homes coming onto the market in sought-after areas.' Hopper says that a glut of homes is putting 'buyers firmly in the driving seat' and giving them the 'confidence and clout to negotiate hard on price.' However, there is also a warning for those that are perhaps waiting for prices to fall. 'There are still well-priced homes sitting unsold, often because buyers are holding back,' said Amy Reynolds, head of sales at Richmond estate agency Antony Roberts. 'If you're waiting for prices to drop, you might be right – but the property you want could be withdrawn, nothing suitable may come up, or prices could rebound far faster than they fall. 'If you see something you like but aren't sure on the price, call the agent to gauge the seller's position before you view – far better than hesitating and watching someone else buy it.'
