A RARE opportunity to live and work on Scotland’s “Sunshine Island” is now up for grabs.
Tiree, located within the Inner Hebrides, is renowned for being one of the sunniest places in the UK, thanks to the warmer temperatures brought by the Atlantic gulf stream and its long summer days.

Home to around 650 residents, the island now offers a unique chance to live and work there ahead of this year’s tourism season.
Two hotels on the island are seeking an “energetic and hands-on” manager to oversee operations across both properties – with “free accommodation” included.
The Tiree Lodge Hotel and the Scarinish Beach Hotel are just five minutes apart by car.
This full-time role involves working a minimum of 45 hours per week.
The advertised salary ranges between £30,000 and £34,000, depending on the applicant’s experience.
Key responsibilities include overseeing the overall management of both hotels, supervising and training hotel and restaurant staff, and ensuring consistently high standards of service.
The successful candidate will also be tasked with providing guests with a “clean and comfortable experience” by delivering “outstanding customer service.”
Prior hospitality management experience in a similar role is essential.
Applicants must also be “practical and hands-on” and capable of training and directing staff to maintain “consistently high standards.”
Tiree is famously flat and almost entirely treeless, a unique feature that contributes to its distinctive climate.
The open landscape allows for uninterrupted views of the horizon, while the lack of trees means it is often exposed to strong winds sweeping in from the Atlantic.
The island of Tiree, with its blindingly white sands and crashing surf, has earned the nickname “Hawaii of the North.”
It’s a destination that could make visitors feel as though they’ve been transported abroad, with its white-shell beaches and turquoise waters.
Balephuil Bay is a perfect spot for swimming and a firm favourite among surfers.
The island’s iconic beaches regularly host world-famous surfing competitions, including the Tiree Wave Classic – the longest-running professional windsurfing event in the world.
