Have you had enough Christmas small talk to last a lifetime? Are you ready to swap nosy relatives and déjà vu for fresh air and minimal human contact?

If so, you could apply for the UK’s loneliest job on the remote Scottish island of Handa.

The Scottish Wildlife Trust is seeking an individual to fill a six-month ranger role on a very small uninhabited island in the north-west Scottish Highlands.
