Credentials

Post Script: Just in case you are wondering: Who? What? Why? Where? How? When? in relation to the Unique Property Bulletin, and this site where we also list the unusual flavour of home.

We shall be uploading our credentials and bona fides in the coming weeks as this website is being compressively updated and overhauled.

However, just for fun, here is a slidey thing that our internet guardian angel added to this Bulletin (after the next couple of paragraphs).

The following digression, back to the future with some “before” and “after photo shows the birthplace of Argyll Group plc on Davaar Island. Namely the Old Lookout Station.

We still get a buzz from the sheer enjoyment this old wreck gave to us. But little did we know what would be born from this place.

Russ McLean Leased

The Old Lookout Coastguard Station

For Five Pounds (£5) Per Year

The £5 was on the basis he would renovate this building. He did and the Lease lasted several years (from 1984 to the 1990s), all of which were very enjoyable…

Russ McLean will be grateful to his friends, all of whom helped get this old wreck (the building not the writer) back to: Ship shape and Bristol fashion…

The insides were in a dire condition…

^^ The Old Lookout, Inside ~ 1984 ^^

Here are a couple of “before” and “after” renovation photos. Though to be clear, there have been several renovations during the 40 years between 1984 and 2024. The first couple were ours. The following were after we (sadly) left the island in the mid 1990s.

Our time was in a more basic home. When one of our readers recently made the pilgrimage to the very building where this all started, ironically by an cop (here) who had become disabled and told he was “not fit to work anymore.” In Glasgow we have an expression “Aye Right.”

In the traditional thrawn manner of your stubborn Weegie, this is what happened next (as our friend kindly sent us after her visit to the Old Lookout)…

Meanwhile, our friend was bowled over with how neat and tidy, comfortable and well designed the interiors of the Old Lookout are now (May 2025)…

Back in our day, 1984 when we first got the keys, there was an unusual hatch…

^^ The Old Lookout, Inside ~ 1984 ^^

During our tenure (approximately 9 years) there were a couple of renovations and it was always a cosy house in which to live.

But seeing what the owners, Mr and Mrs Turner have achieved is awesome.

Though goodness knows what the wee dog makes of accessing his food bowl downstairs…

^^ The Old Lookout, Inside ~ 2018 ^^

The next picture shows a wider angle to show where the hatch is (there is a proper stairway at the eastern elevation of the Old Lookout building).

our friend (the late) Len Bennett managed. PLEASE be careful when crossing the Causeway

: Len was very experienced, yet he wa lost at sea: here).

The owners of Davaar Island have maintained the buildings in a wonderful way and these can now be rented for holidays so that if you fancy, you could have a lovely weekend

Birthplace of Argyll Group plc + Unique Property Bulletin Ltd., and eventually Scotslion Ltd.

This was our FIRST renovation and it resulted in several years of bliss, plus an addiction to living on small islands (well smaller than the island where our managing director was brought up ~ the Island of Arran).

Almost full-circle with the 78th building we bought (derelict) and renovated. Our MD is now 65 and looking to semi-retire…
