[MR] BBC: Castles for Sale (or Sold)

[Garth Groff via Atlantia]

Noble Friends,

I'm sure most of us have dreamed at some point of being lord/lady of our 
own castle. Castles come on the market in England from time to time, and 
for someone with deep pockets ownership is a possibility. Of course, you 
might only be able to afford some ruins. Here's a selection from the BBC 
to ponder: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-36256391 .

Sorry, no titles of nobility come with these castles. Of course, such 
titles are also for sale, since many nobles have more titles and they 
can . . . uh . . . count, and are often ready to shed one or two for 
some ready cash.

When I get rich, my dream is to rebuild my real ancestors' Kilmahew 
Castle west of Glasgow, one of the Napier family seats. The building was 
allowed to fall into ruin in the late 19th century by non-Napier owners, 
and is currently owned by the Catholic Church:

restoration by yours truly are currently on hold pending a major lottery 
win.

Yours Aye,


Lord Mungo Napier, That Crazy Scot
