Fordyce Castle for sale

Fordyce Castle in Scotland is for sale at £800,000. The castle also comes with a barony title, entitling the owner to call himself the Baron of Fordyce , not to be confused with Bruce the baron of Forsyth .  
The castle is on sale at offers over £800,000, and comes with the option of a four- and five-star self-catering holiday letting business.

Thomas Menzies, former lord provost of Aberdeen, built the pocket-sized castle in 1592. In castle-speak it is a “three-storey L-plan tower house with corbelled stair tower”, and is well supplied with shot holes through which to fire upon besieging enemies.
