Isle of Grunay, Out Skerries, Shetland Lighthouse Buildings For Sale 1

Isle of Grunay, Out Skerries, Shetland

Many years ago in the 1980s I was lucky enough to land on Sanda Island during a lifeboat exercise. The properties on the place were in a pretty poor state. A few years further on and the new owner, Dick Gannon then spent several years and a lot of work refurbishing the old buildings. The island even became popular with the likes of HRH Princess Anne during private visits to the small refreshment facility that Dick Gannon had built.

The point? Dick Gannon bought Sanda Island for a relatively low amount of money (you will need to buy a copy of the Unique Property Manual to find that out). When Dick Gannon was ready to sell, he achieved in the region of £2,500,000 for Sanda Island: Click Here.

This Lighthouse Buildings For Sale listing of Grunay Island may hold a similar prospect. There are two former lighthouse keepers’ dwellings in a poor state of repair just ripe for renovation on Grunay island. Also, the island off of Shetland might be as far east, and almost as far north as you can get and folk think it will always be cold, but from experience, the writer of this narrative got sunstroke up here. So please take care when out in the sun – especially if you end up buying Grunay Island and the lighthouse buildings.

That is a secret of the north – it can get very warm and sunny during summer such is the relatively close proximity to the Arctic Circle – plenty of long summer days. Contrast beautifully with the winter wonder that is the amazing Aurora Borealis.

The island itself amounts to approximately 55.58 acres in all. It is mostly grass and rock on the coast. There are two beaches. The other two mainland islands within the Out Skerries are those of Bruray and Housey, which are connected by a bridge and have two shops, a post office, church, school and a roll on/off car ferry. As well as an airstrip, Grunay itself has its own deep water pier and is accessible to Bruray via a short boat trip. The Out Skerries has a population of about 70 inhabitants.

Situated in the centre of the island are two dilapidated, semi-detached former Lighthouse Keepers’ houses, built of brick and faced with harling with a flat roof. The larger of the two houses had a sitting room, kitchen, three bedrooms, bathroom, workroom and two storage rooms. The smaller house had a sitting room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. There is also an old walled garden and sundial.

There is a large ruined structure on the north shore of Grunay, known locally as ‘The Broch’. Although it is not known whether it dates from the Iron Age, such structures were built during this time throughout the far north of Scotland.
