A UK island with a population of just 120 people is offering homes for £550 a month to attract new residents. 🏡🏝️ The tiny Orkney island of Eday, located off the north coast of Scotland, is looking for new families, workers and young people to help secure its future. The community has just 120 residents and has launched an appeal after completing two new three-bedroom homes available to rent for £550 a month. Local leaders say the island urgently needs people to help fill roles including carers, firefighters and school-age families, with concerns about an ageing population and maintaining key services. The response has been so strong that the housing advert attracted millions of views online. The homes are being offered at well below the average rent for a three-bedroom property in the wider Highlands and Islands region, where rents are typically much higher. For those able to work remotely, Eday offers a slower pace of life, coastal views and a tight-knit community. #ThisIsMoney #Money #News #UK
