A tiny Scottish island is seeing a surprising tourism boom. Ulva in the Inner Hebrides has experienced an overwhelming surge in visitors following its inclusion in a property television programme on the BBC.
The speck off Scotland’s west coast is home to just 16 residents, who are struggling to cope with the influx.
The island has decided to effectively close to visitors one day a week in order to allow its inhabitants to “recharge”.
