According to them, Còsagach is based on an old Scottish word for feeling snug, sheltered and warm.

Ignoring the fact that some have questioned if this is even a real word (some Gaellic speakers say it actually means “a damp mossy place”), the Scots really are excellent at being snug.

If this one isn't quite what youare looking for  - this island in the Shetlands also recently went up for sale for a similar price.
