You may be able to bag a castle in Scotland for well under a million pounds, but depending on which one you go for, you may need to put in a lot of restoration work.

1. Pieteadie Castle

A castle in Fife, Scotland covering 3.8 acres, with a fruit orchard, paddock and tennis court is up for sale for £225,000 ($300,558).

However, Piteadie Castle is described as ruined, though it has “restoration potential,” according to estate agent Savills who have listed the property.

It is believed to originate from the late 15th century and was partially rebuilt in the 17th century with the addition of a stair tower.

1. Fetteresso Castle

Next up on the list is a 14th century castle situated west of the fishing town of Stonehaven, up for £475,000, and unlike Piteadie comes in great condition.

Fetteresso Castle was rebuilt in 2005 and has been “modernised to provide beautifully appointed living accommodation,” according to its Zoopla listing.

Some of its features include an “elegant staircase with high ceilings and feature light fittings” plus “a spacious formal living space with period features and an “open working fireplace.”
