Family selling 'idyllic' island with ruined castle after 80 years

  • The Gully family is selling Shuna Island, a 1,110-acre private Scottish island with a ruined castle, working farm, and holiday homes, as of June 2025.
  • The family has owned Shuna since 1945 after buying it from the Dowager Viscountess Selby, with Edward Gully managing it for 80 years.
  • The island includes eight residential properties housing up to 52 guests, supports livestock farming, features country sports such as deer stalking, and benefits from a renewable energy system.
  • Estate agents Sotheby's International Realty have highlighted Shuna as an exceptionally unique property, abundant in historical significance, natural beauty, and potential, with viewings planned to begin later this week.
  • The sale opens potential for redevelopment or use as a boutique hospitality or wellness destination, marking the end of the family's decades-long stewardship.
