Photographs of the bothy and its overgrown garden from 10 years ago show the magnificent transformation the property has gone through.
The current property owners restored and redesigned the small stone cottage into the modern and spacious property that it is today.
The home also offers a haven of privacy , as there is only one other house further down the private road.
The area is also very popular for sailing and in the summer is host to Scotland’s largest sailing regatta – the Scottish Series.
