7362 acres of Mull of Kintyre for a mere £3 Million?

A country estate made famous by Sir Paul McCartney’s song Mull of Kintyre has been put up for sale. BBC News

Carskiey Estate is an idyllic getaway spot with over 9 miles of dramatic coastline and a climate that is cushioned by the Gulf Stream. 7,362 acres and includes the Mull of Kintyre, one of Scotland’s renowned land masses which attained international recognition as a result of the Paul McCartney song.
Occupying the south western section of the Kintyre Peninsula, it includes the sandy beaches of the crescent-shaped Carskey Bay and the rugged cliffs of the western end, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
I ought to hurry and buy it up quick before somebody else grabs this piece of prime real estate.
