The island is famous for its world-class distilleries, rugged beaches, and jaw-dropping scenery.
But this isn’t just a getaway - a private estate is on the hunt for a couple to live and work on its sprawling grounds.
One person will handle housekeeping duties while the other will work as a gardener and driver.
The housekeeping gig involves keeping the property spotless, managing staff, running errands, and even cooking every now and then.

The gardening role includes tending the grounds, trimming hedges, and ferrying guests around the island.
Applicants need a driving licence, must be happy to work flexibly during busy times, and should be comfortable with dogs — your furry friends can even tag along if you move in.
The perks include a rent-free, three-bedroom home on the estate, complete with a lounge, kitchen, and family bathroom.
Council tax is covered, though you'll have to sort your own utility bills.

The job also includes an impressive £70,000 annual salary to be split between the couple.
