'Applicants have been surprised they had to arrange a boat'

Available for over a year

Scoraig Primary school in the Scottish Highlands is seeking a new teacher and has so far failed in its recruitment process. Zoe Fothergill, the administrator of the charity Scoraig Teaching Group, describes the location as "the most magical place" but applicants had been surprised they had to arrange a boat for their visits. "There's no road, so either you take a boat across the loch or your walk in," she said. The school has five pupils aged 5 to 10.
