 Sellers are hoping to get in the region of �8m for the castle |
A castle complete with 250 acres of land and its own baronet's title is up for sale on the internet auction site eBay with a price tag of �4m. The sellers of Lee Castle in the Clyde Valley near Lanark have struggled to find a buyer for the building, which is 700-years-old.
They said the property has attracted a lot of interest on eBay.
Although the price tag reads �4m, the selling agents Remax International said they hope to get between �8m and �9m.
Pipes and drums
The poor exchange rate with the dollar is thought to have discouraged American buyers and a deal last November fell through at the last minute.
The new owner of the Gothic-style castle, should one be found, will also become the 35th Baron or Baroness of Lee.
Another prize that comes with the estate is the 25-member Pipes and Drums of the Barony of Lee who will play for the new residents at the baron's beckoning.
Gordon Lockhart, of Remax, said: "The owner will also have the privilege of registering their own coat-of-arms, motto and even the family tartan."
There have been three bids since the sale went on eBay, but the amounts have not been revealed.
