I’ll Take This… Woodside Castle, Scotland
The thing about a massive old castle is that it’s hellish in the winter. Those thick stone walls just hold in the cold and damp. Trust me. I know this from the experience of working in a 12th century castle on the south coast of Wales. But Woodside Castle, now for sale for £1,950,000 in Scotland, is a nice manageable size. Yes, it’s got 10+ bedrooms and six baths. It’s also got a dungeon, but what self-respecting castle doesn’t?It was built in the 1500’s, but “modernized” in the 1890’s, so it’s pretty up-to-date. Best of all, it’s pretty close to Glasgow, not out in the wilds of Stornoway in the Outer Hebrides. You can check further details here.
Cool! When you move in...can I come visit? I will bring the gin!

ReplyDeleteHeaven, absolute heaven.
ReplyDeleteBut, does it come with its own Butler?
ReplyDeleteThat's perfect. For me!
ReplyDeleteDon't think I'd like to own, pay taxes and maintain it, but I wouldn't mind being a house guest there! The tartan carpet is super.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if we all chip in, we can buy it!!!
