Argyll and Bute

It's island magic in Argyll and Bute as Alistair Appleton helps globetrotter Sabiha, who dreams of escaping the city and living amid Scotland's coastal calm. For a £400,000 budget, Alistair's property line-up includes a range of charming countryside and waterside homes, but it's the mystery house that really makes waves. Perched on a tiny car-free island, the journey to get there involves a short and exciting ferry ride.Alistair also meets a couple who made their own Argyll and Bute dream come true when they moved to a wonderful lochside croft.
