Up for a move?
Have you been hankering for a change of scenery recently?
Well then listen up, because we could be making your dreams come true.
The Scottish Government is offering people £50,000 to relocate to the Scottish isles.
They're offering the money to families and young people willing to move in a bid to reduce depopulation on the likes of Orkney and the Isle of Skye.
According to The Mirror, the islands are regularly voted the most beautiful in the world.
And they want to increase the population there with the £5 million Islands Bond fund.
They're providing up to £50,000 each for up to 100 households by 2026.
However, it's getting mixed reactions online:
Rather than offering bribes to individuals, which could prove divisive, Scottish Ministers should commit to investing in projects that benefit whole island communities such as new ferries or faster broadband. https://t.co/EJLI1HRGKz

The Islands Bond fund won't be launched until next year, but keep an eye if you're interested.
