Prices from £158,000

Sluggan Drive is located in beautiful Aviemore, known for its outdoor pursuits and enjoyed by tourists all year around.

The properties, which are cottage apartments and have their own entrances, are within a mixed development scheme with a range of retail outlets, including a supermarket, fast food outlets, cosmetic health and beauty salon.

The 18-hole Spey Valley Championship Golf Course and facilities are also to hand.

All of the apartments are built to a high specification and benefiting from an eco-friendly bio-mass heating system.

Noss Head Lighthouse Keepers Houses, Wick, Caithness

Bidwells, Inverness. Tel. 01463 796050

Noss Head Lighthouse 2

Offers over £275,000

How many of us have dreamed about running away and living in a lighthouse, far from the rat race? Well, this is the chance to do just that.

The Noss Head Lighthouse is one of the most unique and historic buildings on the picturesque north-east coast of Scotland.

The property features a three bedroom traditional Lighthouse Keeper’s Cottage (a category A-listed building), a four bedroom Superintendent’s Cottage and a range of useful outbuildings set within approximately 15.79 hectares of land.

The dramatic cliffs of Noss Head project into the North Sea, affording impressive views in all directions. A short cliff top walk from the property is a rewarding experience; looking across to the sandy beach of Sinclair’s Bay you can see both Castle Sinclair Girnigoe and Ackergill Tower, an impressive 16th century keep.

Following the north coast of the headland a short distance from the property you will discover Sandy Geo, a small sandy beach overlooked by a towering sea stack.

The setting is very secluded; the land is bounded by a dry stone wall which spans Noss Head from north to south, effectively dividing the property from the rest of the headland.
