Woman leaves Scottish island to her children

Story here

Most people probably hope they may inherit some money, or the family cat. In Scotland, one woman left her children something that's a little harder to carry: an island.

From the article:

A widow has gifted the £3 million Scottish island that she owned to her children in her will.


Jean Howard inherited the tiny isle of Ulva in the Inner Hebrides, off the west coast of Mull, more than 30 years ago from her mother who bought it for just £10,000.
