Every man’s home is his castle.
But in Fife that dream could become a reality if you don’t mind your palatial pile being on the bijou side.
Wave bye bye to Windsor, banish thoughts of Balmoral. For what is up for sale is possibly Scotland’s smallest castle.
But if the thought of never-ending maintenance work, draughty windows and the odd ghost or two puts you off owning a medieval castle, then Bath Castle may be right up your street.
Believed to be Scotland’s smallest castle, the house on the outskirts of Culross has a long history dating back to around 1640 when King James VI built it as a gift to Sir James Colville of East Wemyss for his services to the Crown.
Nestled in Fife countryside, the B-listed property was restored to its former glory in the mid-1980s.
And now it has been put on the market, for offers of more than £220,000, by agents CKD Galbraith.
Many period features still remain, including an inglenook fireplace and a bluebell stained glass window.
Dominic Webberburn, who is handling the sale, said: “Although compact, Bath Castle has a tremendous amount of character and history and would make the perfect home for those looking for something a bit quirky.
“And, of course, who wouldn’t like to be able to say they own Scotland’s smallest castle!”
