If you are looking to get away from it all then this could be for you,

A job is being advertised to work as deckhand on the UK's most remote inhabited island – with a population of just 60.

The position is on Fair Isle - located 24 miles from the Shetland mainland in Scotland and historically a fishing and crofting community.

The island has thought to have been populated for as long as 6,000 years ago and was owned by Norway in the 14th century.

Today the island is owned by the National Trust for Scotland – who are advertising a new job as a deckhand on the local ferry MV Good Shepherd.

The National Trust will also be providing a family home on the island to the successful applicant, provided they meet the charity's rental criteria.
