Red Rum once stayed at the Lonsdale Stables, Invergowrie.
It may be common for properties to boast famous residents, but it’s perhaps a little more unusual for them to be famous horses.
A small holding and stables up for sale in the village of Invergowrie can, however, make that claim.
It once put up the famous Red Rum, winner of three Grand Nationals and arguably the best known racehorse in British history.
The horse, which was beloved by the British public right up until his death in 1995, spent the night at the property in 1982 during a public visit to Dundee.
He made regular public appearances following his retirement from racing in 1978.
The crowd goes wild with joy as Red Rum, ridden by Tommy Stack, Â the Grand National Steeplechase for a record third time.
One stipulation, however, was that he had to be boarded in a stable with a vet, which saw him stay as the guest of A.N. McCormick, who owned the 2.8-acre property in Invergowrie and also ran the McCormick & McConnachie veterinary practice in nearby Dundee.
The story goes that when Mr McCormick was approached to board Red Rum, he was so thrilled to be asked that he turned down the offer of payment.
Lonsdale, Invergowrie.
The property is currently for sale with Miller Hendry in Dundee, with an asking price of offers over £430,000.
It boasts two paddocks and stables, now partly converted into offices.
