  • Richard Irvine runs a smokehouse in Colonsay but is giving it away to help regenerate the local population.

The article from AOL News discusses an opportunity for individuals interested in owning an island and running a business, as a small island off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada, is being given away for free. The catch is that the new owner must relocate the island, named Round Island, which is currently connected to the mainland by a small strip of land. The island, measuring 2.5 acres, comes with a three-bedroom house, a guest house, and a lighthouse, and has been on the market for $50,000 without any takers. The owner, who inherited the property, is willing to give it away to someone willing to take on the challenge of moving it, with the relocation estimated to cost around $1 million. The article highlights the unique nature of the offer and the potential appeal to those looking for an unusual business venture or a secluded getaway.
