»In which it depends what you want to do

npr broadcast a story about an opportunity to get away from it all (where "it" entails the daily newspaper and the pub, and, quite probably, all other semblance of ... civilisation):

"The National Trust of Scotland is seeking tenants for two properties on Fair Isle, the most remote inhabited island of Scotland. Anne Sinclair, a resident and historian of Fair Isle (pop: 65), says someone with knitting or construction skills would have no trouble making a living there. The knitting cooperative, for example, has more orders than it can fill."

There's nowhere to run in Fair Isle. Google maps turned up nowt, but ultimately found another map o' the isle. All this could be yours for £300 sterling per annum. And the boat to the mainland runs once a fortnight! (Take that, MUNI!)

After getting over the cultural differences (not locking one's door a'nights! aught for a pub!), I imagine settling down o' a morning to paint, to watch birds at the Skree o' Skroo.
