The stagger home from the Old Forge in Inverie on the Knoydart Peninsula is a little more challenging than the one from most other pubs.
The pub started life as a smiddy and later a workers' social club.
If you do not live in the village, the only way of reaching or leaving is by walking 18 miles or making a seven-mile sea crossing.
The Old Forge has an entry in the Guinness World Records as the remotest pub on mainland Britain.
It has been offered for sale at offers above £790,000 ($1,231,046)
Knoydart's coast and mountains have been described as mainland Britain's last wilderness.

looks nice but I doubt you'll ever see a profit at that price.
