Nah. I don't like the colour of the stone, or the shape of the north tower. Money's of COURSE not the issue.

Of course, money is not the issue with me either. It's just the wee lass does not want more to do...

Since I'm thinking of some serious downsizing I might well consider it.

Well, with Balavil House and Cluny Castle being both on the market, I'd say my funds are rather tied up at the moment. Not to mention both estates are located in the heart of traditional, Clan Macpherson lands in Badenoch...so, there's NO CONTEST of which way I'll be heading!

Think about it for a minute, folks - the Law of Supply and Demand. The supply of available castles is going up. The price has to go down. There's still hope for us. Stay tuned ...

I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

Excellent! That only seems right. While you wrap those two, I'll take the Gledfield Estate in Sutherland, "The Gledfield Estate is a full-scale sporting estate. The 14,682-square-foot historic main house, recently restored, has eight bedrooms and five bathrooms. The property also has a staff apartment and eight estate cottages. The estate has opportunities for hunting and salmon fishing on 6,981 acres. Inverness International Airport is 45 miles away."
My Scottish roots are in this area, from around Inverness up to Wick, so the location is perfect! Now I just need to get £8m to buy it and a "few" extra £ to run it.

I am embarrassed of that moose head in the second game room picture!
That room deserves a moose head with a huge rack!
