For sale: One castle, fit for a queen (ghosts also included)
A CASTLE in the Lothians where Mary Queen of Scots spent her honeymoon is up for sale, priced at offers over £3 million.
Borthwick Castle boasts nine bedrooms, a Great Hall and a minstrel's gallery, and is set in seven and a half acres of grounds. The two-bedroom Tower Gate lodge is also included in the sale.
But potential buyers are warned of ghosts that haunt the building, including that of a young servant girl said to wander its spiral staircases.
The 15th century castle in North Middleton, Midlothian, was a family home for centuries but has been a hotel for more than 20 years.
Edinburgh estate agent George Goldsmith said of the A-listed building
: "It's a very romantic, unique, historic building."
