A private island in the middle of Loch Lomond has gone on sale for £500,000.

The uninhabited island, Inchconnachan, is only accessible by boat and no-one has lived there for 20 years.

The ruins of a timber bungalow built in Colonial style in the 1920s can still be seen.

It was once the holiday home of thrill-seeking aristocrat Fiona Gore, Countess of Arran who was at one-time the fastest woman on the water, after setting record speeds of 102mph in a powerboat in 1980.
