Not sure about the first two, but the third one's nice. Wonder what the broadband connectivity is like. Are there direct flights from Kirkwall to London? If so, it's probably closer to my office than where we live now.
Alas no; you've got to change at Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness or Aberdeen (and start by getting the ferry to Kirkwall). I think Shapinsay has a reasonable-speed broadband connection; 90-some % of Orkney does.
Balfour is on the same island, and can't be more than a couple of miles away. At one stage, I think the postal address of the owner of the castle was something like "Mr Balfour, Balfour Castle, Balfour Island".
Well, rwrylsin and I are looking to buy a house soon, and Balfour Castle certainly fits most of our requirements (although the commute to Melbourne could be a bit tedious :-) ). I think we'll have to save up for a while longer to afford it though ... maybe 100 ... 120 years at most, and we'll be there :-)
