The Towie Barclay Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, once visited by the late Queen Mother, has all the features of a traditional castle like shot holes, gun loops and stone walls. The 2.7-acre castle grounds, also includes a walled garden, gardener's cottage and carriage rooms. But it’s also a family home that was purchased by a husband and wife for £4,000 in 1972.
Homeowner Karen Ellington opens up the castle doors to share the restoration journey from ruin to refuge.

I applaud the owners on their ingenuity, dedication and hard work that brought this building back from being lost. From the decor to exterior, they really considered what was appropriate for the house/castle and grounds - no garish upgrading/modern elements. And to think, most, if not all, of their work was done without followers on social media.

LOL. 1.26mil is a bargain for the castle, guess house and the full huge garden. The only reason it's that low price because it's so far away from amenities have fun doing grocery when you are so far away. Probably more ideal for a vacation rental than a live in.

Pack for cold & rain. It can be glorious at that time of year & the days are still amazingly long - you could read a newspaper in the garden at 10pm at my grandmother's house in August - but, to relocate & paraphrase the famous Twain observation, the longest winter many will ever experience is a summer in Scotland, never mind autumn. Winter ?! Fuhgeddaboutit...... My brother & I used to spit on the inside top windowpane at night so we'd know how cold it had been by how far down the spittle got before freezing.Looking at all that exposed stone & the vaulted ceiling at Towie Barclay makes me shiver, whether from sense memory or fear of the heating bill, I can't say. No wonder whisky translates as water of life. Just a poetic description of antifreeze.( And yes, I know that whisky doesn't actually keep you warm. Spare me your dreich Sassenach science.)

Spectacular Castle and have to say, you both have done a splendid job restoring it and it is sad your family could not continue on holding on to this lovely castle! Wish I had this money, as it is not really asking too much I do not feel, and if you wanted to stay on and enjoy all your days here, but with others taking over the work and the part of taking care of it all, You love this castle and have worked hard with your husband and positive you miss him and it is hard, but even if you lived in one of the smaller areas that visitors would use normally would maybe something that would be of interest and you would desire to know you wer home and able to spend many more years here and help the owners if they have questions? Some people would maybe write a book, as so many do. It takes so much money an time of course and people need to realize this when they buy it as they will want to be sure to keep it up properly and it is interesting what more they will think to do, as one would want to keep most all of it quite the same. But truly with a castle there is always more needing to be done. Ther is a thing now called " Work a ways', and people who are, in between jobs, or they would like to. exchange work for living with a room and bathroom and to eat, would work for you. But they would need very good vetting of course.
