Anyone want an island?
« on: September 05, 2014 »
Spotted this today, for the price of a small house you can grab a lump of stunning rock off the Donegal coast. I bags the Father McGuire outfit who's going to take the role of Mrs Doyle?

If anyone is wondering just where it is then here is a Google map point.

Looks attractive until you realise you're definitely going to have to give up any sort of internet access.

Oddly enough real living space would end up costing you more than the island itself as there was mention that including shipping the materials you would pay over 200k to build a house there.

No doubt the locals of Tory island a little further north would likely have a set of insults for how soft you were with anything more than a sheepskin and hat for shelter.
