Island Paradise Gone Wrong?
Lighthouse Cottages Now Derelict.
For Sale By Auction.
Guide: £175,000. Failed to sell at first auction. Now guided at £165,000.
Ailsa Craig Lighthouse Station: Part of This For Sale (c) T. Burner
Here at the Lighthouses For Sale and Unique Property Bulletin websites, it is important to note we are NOT estate agents, nor auctioneers: therefore we are able to give a relatively frank narrative for our readers to digest. Or in this case indigest.
We rarely advise our friends and colleagues NOT to bid for something at auction. However, we now do this in regard to the Ailsa Craig ruinous cottages.
For four reasons..
1] The auction house has a dire reputation across several estate agency/auctioneer review sites such as ‘Trustpilot’ and ‘All The Agents’.
2] This island lighthouse property is going to cost around £400,000 to renovate. It is also a huge logistical chalenge getting building materials, tools and trades across at and on to the island.
3] If someone does buy the derelict lighthouse cottages, they will NOT own the island NOR will they own the lighthouse tower. Just a group of insecure, open/unlocked vandalised ruinous buildings on a remote island.
4] The pier is in a dangerous condition. The buyer will be liable for tens of thousands of pounds in repair costs for this structure. Thereafter you still cannot berth your boat at the island pier for long as it is very exposed to the elements. Occasionally this can be quite dangerous.
Ailsa Craig Island – Decrepit & Dangerous Pier
However, this is a beautiful island. Someone may be willing to take a risk at losing their £19,500 deposit + fees to Future Property Auctions for a title which is dubious at this current time (the auctioneers are negligently trying to flog off Northern Lighthouse Board buildings which they do not own, nor have the gift to sell).
Ailsa Craig Controversy: Future Property Auctions Make Major FUBAR Mistake
They advertise all of these buildings for sale when only the derelict block at the back is available.
In fact what you are bidding on is a block of derelict cottages and NOT the nice, well maintained Northern Lighthouse Board block and tower at the front of the compound.
Ailsa Craig – A Beautiful Island.
Even with the mountain of work needed to renovate the old houses, someone may be tempted and actually buy the ruinous former keepers’ homes.
So for intrepid lighthouse folk who like a challenge and would like to know more…

DON’T RISK MISSING LIGHTHOUSE BUILDINGS FOR SALE
We love to help fellow lighthouse folk find their ideal beamy place to live.
Our website is a not-for-profit entity run by volunteers. We are passionate about lighthouses, most of us live in them. How may we help you?

Sorry this lighthouse station is now sold, but there are several more available for sale.
Lighthouse buildings being placed for sale are very rare and can often sell quite quickly. Several owners also prefer to sell off-market, discreetly without utilising an estate agency. Some just like it when the commission is half a percent!
For example, folk sell their lighthouse exclusively with this website because the costs are a fraction of High Street estate agents.
Lighthouse owners are saving on excessive agency commissions by utilising our not-for-profit website to sell their unique property. We are top ranked on the internet. We are not an estate agent – just a place where lighthouse owners wishing to sell can be introduced to those who would like to buy. We do have an honourarium when a lighthouse seller achieves a sale via this website. The amount is 0.5% (half of one percent), whereas a High Street estate agent can typically charges 1.5% to 1.8% + VAT = 2.16% (Which Magazine secret shopper research here).
Also, because some lighthouse building sellers only use this website, it is perhaps an idea for you to to join our email alert service to receive news of the next lighthouse property that comes up for sale…

We don’t send too many emails out, but the ones we do, usually have tasty and fresh lighthouse buildings for sale.

Between England, Scotland, Northern Ireland & The Isle of Man
Guide: £325,000 – Now Sold
Little Ross Island Lighthouse Compound
Little Ross Island and it’s various lighthouse (and farm/barn) buildings, may be “under offer”, but it is still worthwhile keeping an eye on the current selling progress – in case the place comes back up for sale. Over the past three decades, we have seen, first hand the fact that several lighthouse buildings have come back after the first sale effort falls through. Our very own HQ for this website at Noss Head Lighthouse Station was one such second-time-around sale/purchase.

Please note, this website and it’s sister publication: Unique Property Bulletin will be permanently housed in the lighthouse building: The Old Engine House, Noss Head Lighthouse Station, Wick, Caithness, KW1 4QT.

View From The Top of The Lighthouse Tower
The Old Engine House is not for sale – just introducing our readers to the new home for this website. This is where we help you. Whether you are looking to buy, or sell lighthouse buildings; perhaps you are wishing to rent to/rent from lighthouse building owners, this new website HQ will help provide a real world place for new staff to work from. We can’t cope with four volunteers when there are over 100,000 readers of the various websites at times and email answering duties go on until 2am at busy times. Conversely, this is a good thing. A while back we had a friendly journalist researching an article and they called our websites…
An Accidental Success.
This diminutive building might contain details of your new home!
In 2017, after 25 years of our parent publication, Unique Property Bulletin (here) running as a voluntary, not-for-profit entity helping friends, colleagues and readers find their ultimate dream home – we became acutely aware we needed to employ staff in addition to the volunteers (who will continue to volunteer). The staff members will need somewhere to work from. The tipping point was when we went from a paper-based newsletter, to an online version in 2011.
Putting our three main publications on the internet has resulted in an obscure blog becoming something more substantial.
Our readership for the paper format publication went gently from 985 to 3,650 between 1992 and 1997.
Unique Property Bulletin: Original Format
The Lighthouses For Sale of Rent website was born from this.
However, the internet has turbo-charged our readership numbers, and we still struggle to believe these. The Lighthouses For Sale website regularly exceeds 40,000 and the sister journal at Unique Property Bulletin inexorably increase to the current level of 70,000 readers. In 2017 we had 186,399 people looked at that single Facebook lighthouse keepers house for sale page.
Our job at this Lighthouses For Sale or Rent website and our parent publication, Unique Property Bulletin is simple…
We are here to help you find and have fun with a unique property.
The next stage, at the Old Engine House is one of the most exciting in what has been a pretty amazing 25 year journey. Please join us. We would love to get you into some unusual property mischief!
The Old Engine House, Noss Head Lighthouse Station
The detached building to the lower left of the photograph is this website’s new home. Whilst the building to the lower right is the Principal Keeper’s House. That has been bought by a lovely couple, and they are renovating the property so that it can be a go to lighthouse holiday destination: Click Here.

WHO RUNS THIS WEBSITE AND WHY?
Several readers have asked us this two-part question.
Some of us our a bit reclusive, but here goes…
For our readers who have the dedicated lighthouse property sleuthing ability within their DNA. If you are determined to find one of these lighthouse buildings to live in for yourself, then our special article is a reasonable starting point.
What has Robert Carlyle got to do with finding and buying lighthouse buildings/?
Read on for the back-story…
Highland Policeman Hamish Macbeth Portrayed By Actor Robert Carlyle
Photo Attribution: BBC
The light hearted rural police drama featured adventures of the eponymous, eccentric character in uniform, inhabited brilliantly by Robert Carlyle. The BBC series was must-watch television on a Sunday night in the 1990’s.
But here’s the thing. In real life there are actual Hamish Macbeths. You are reading the words of one right here and now. Just exactly as the writer of this segment is tapping them out on the old keyboard for you. Curiously, it is an obscure fact that thanks to a Teuchter version of the Old Bill – and a lot of training at police college, this website has been created. If it were not for a real life Hamish Macbeth, then Lighthouses For Sale or Rent would not be here.
