Cameron Ewer, head of residential in Scotland for Savills estate agents, said buying such a property might not be as costly as you might think.
“In Scotland, the dream of owning a castle is far more attainable than many imagine,” he said.
“What makes buying a castle here in Scotland so compelling is not only the grandeur of these buildings, but the clarity of the Scottish buying process itself.
“Properties are usually offered on an ‘offers over’ basis, and once a buyer is captivated by a particular castle, their solicitor will note their interest so they are kept informed of any developments, including the setting of a closing date.
“It is a system designed to be transparent and respectful, ensuring that every serious buyer has a fair opportunity to put forward a considered offer.”
