This place (Offers over £160k) just went for over £300k.

It has some land, but land is totally useless here, as you can't do anything with it.

Just for context; 40 years ago it would have been given away for free (really - happened a lot). 20 years ago it would have cost £20k. 5 years ago maybe £80k ... now £300k!

Views are astonishing of course, but where did that massive price rise come from in such a short time? Not just Covid surely?

Remote work, and cheap housing - people who used to need to be in SE now can work remote with Starlink. I know personally of two people.
Yea. I did that nearly 20 years ago. Amazed that so few have followed.

Out of interest, Starlink works for very few in Torridon as the satellites are too low in the sky, and at the wrong compass point, and the mountains are way too high! (Believe me, I've tried).
